editing: add higher-precedence `SPACK_EDITOR` environment variable
Other tools like git support `GIT_EDITOR` which takes higher precedence than the
standard `VISUAL` or `EDITOR` variables. This adds similar support for Spack, in the
`SPACK_EDITOR` env var.
- [x] consolidate editor code from hooks into `spack.util.editor`
- [x] add more editor tests
- [x] add support for `SPACK_EDITOR`
- [x] add a documentation section for controlling the editor and reference it
