Support for external packages

A proposal to make the following changes:

  • rename the packages.yaml file to environments.yaml
  • optional packages.yaml in the spack format that will be appended to the cluster-specific packages.yaml so that a stack can extend the set of system packages that will be used, and set for downstream spack users.

This will reduce ambiguity of the current naming scheme, and make it easier for spack stack recipe writers to control the use of system packages and ensure that they are visible to downstream consumers.
