Config prefer upstream (#21487)

This allows for quickly configuring a spack install/env to use upstream packages by default. This is particularly important when upstreaming from a set of officially supported spack installs on a production cluster. By configuring such that package preferences match the upstream, you ensure maximal reuse of existing package installations.
