Summary

This PR updates all NRL sites to use the OS libz.so instead of the spack-built zlib-ng version. This is to address numerous problems, especially on Cray, where after loading spack-stack environments, basic tools like less and more sophisticated tools like ddt would throw many warnings or even stop working. For consistency, we do this on all NRL systems, regardless of being a Cray or not.

Included are also:

  • Additional, minor updates to the NRL site configs, most notably the update of cray-mpich on Narwhal to the latest version 8.1.26.
  • In template neptune-dev, exclude neptune-python-env with Intel Classic compilers. Yes, the time has come to say goodbye. The new versions of Python packages py-numpy and py-scipy don't build with these compilers, and it's not worth fixing those builds given that these compilers are deprecated and the replacement (%oneapi with icx, icpx, ifort) works fine.
  • Turn off gssapi variant for package libtircp because of a build error with latest OneAPI compilers (libtircp only needed by hdf@4, and the variant isn't needed)

This PR requires a bugfix/workaround in spack for package freetype, see JCSDA/spack#496
