Add ccache support (#3761)
If the user sets "ccache: true" in spack's config.yaml, Spack will use an available ccache executable when compiling c/c++ code. This feature is disabled by default (i.e. "ccache: false") and the documentation is updated with how to enable ccache support

+--------------------
+
+When set to ``true`` Spack will use ccache to cache compiles. This is
+useful specifically un two cases: (1) Use with ``spack setup``, (2)
+Build the same package with many different variants. The default is
+``false``.
+
+When enabled Spack will look inside your ``PATH`` for a ``ccache``
+executable and stop if it is not found. Some systems come with
+``ccache``, but it can also be installed using ``spack install
+ccache``. ``ccache`` comes with reasonable defaults for cache size
+and location. (See the *Configuration settings* secion of ``man
+ccache`` to learn more about the default settings and how change
+them.) Please note that we currently disable ccache's ``hash_dir``
+feature to avoid an issue with the stage directory (see
+https://github.com/LLNL/spack/pull/3761#issuecomment-294352232 ).
