Subject: Introduce a SPACK_PYTHON environment variable (#21222)

The SPACK_PYTHON environment variable can be set to a python interpreter to be
used by the spack command.  This allows the spack command itself to use a
consistent and separate interpreter from whatever python might be used for package
building.
