Use abspath to avoid permission errors(#7241)
Fixes #5189 When working with non-normalized paths containing ".." on some file systems, Spack was found to encounter a permission error when writing to the path. This normalizes a path written by the intel-parallel-studio package and also normalizes all paths written by the license install hook (for all packages) to avoid this issue for intel-parallel-studio.
