Patch Mathematica (#16019)

* Patch Mathematica

Mathematica installer moves all files and directories from installation directory to a backup one. The problem is that it also moves .spack to this backup location. Once it's done it does not move .spack back where it was.

My patch creates a copy of .spack to /tmp then moves it back right before exiting the install call.

* Make lint happy

* Use Spack native copy()

As suggested in peer-review let's:
- Copy .spack to stage directory so I don't have to use random
- Use Spack native copy() to do these operations

* Use join_path to create paths

As per peer-review suggestion:
- Use join_path to create paths
- Use copy_tree since we're copying a directory that could have sub-directories
