"spack uninstall": don't modify env (#33711)
"spack install foo" no longer adds package "foo" to the environment (i.e. to the list of root specs) by default: you must specify "--add". Likewise "spack uninstall foo" no longer removes package "foo" from the environment: you must specify --remove. Generally this means that install/uninstall commands will no longer modify the users list of root specs (which many users found problematic: they had to deactivate an environment if they wanted to uninstall a spec without changing their spack.yaml description). In more detail: if you have environments e1 and e2, and specs [P, Q, R] such that P depends on R, Q depends on R, [P, R] are in e1, and [Q, R] are in e2: * `spack uninstall --dependents --remove r` in e1: removes R from e1 (but does not uninstall it) and uninstalls (and removes) P * `spack uninstall -f --dependents r` in e1: will uninstall P, Q, and R (i.e. e2 will have dependent specs uninstalled as a side effect) * `spack uninstall -f --dependents --remove r` in e1: this uninstalls P, Q, and R, and removes [P, R] from e1 * `spack uninstall -f --remove r` in e1: uninstalls R (so it is "missing" in both environments) and removes R from e1 (note that e1 would still install R as a dependency of P, but it would no longer be listed as a root spec) * `spack uninstall --dependents r` in e1: will fail because e2 needs R Individual unit tests were created for each of these scenarios.
