Dennis Klein bb5c0a998c ci: install deps from committed lockfiles when present
Reusing concretization between the weekly buildcache (fresh) and weekday CI
(reuse) can drift if runner externals change, causing avoidable cache misses.

- setup-deps installs from test/ci/locks/<env>-gcc<N>.lock when it exists,
  skipping concretization for byte-identical hashes; falls back to the spec
  yaml otherwise
- buildcache exports each env's spack.lock as a downloadable artifact so the
  lockfiles can be regenerated on the ubuntu-24.04 runner and committed
- document the manual regeneration flow in test/ci/locks/README.md

Committed spack lockfiles

setup-deps installs from <env>-gcc<N>.lock here when a matching file exists, skipping concretization so the resolved hashes match the binaries the buildcache pushed (guaranteed cache hits). When no lockfile is present it falls back to concretizing from test/ci/spack-<env>.yaml.

Regenerating

Lockfiles pin host externals (glibc, system gcc), so they must be concretized on the same runner image CI uses (ubuntu-24.04) — do not generate them on a local machine.

  1. Run the Spack Buildcache workflow (push to dev/master touching the spack configs, or workflow_dispatch). It concretizes fresh (fresh: 'true'), pushes binaries, and uploads each env's spack.lock as a lock-<env>-gcc<N> artifact.
  2. Download the artifacts and commit them here as <env>-gcc<N>.lock.

Regenerate whenever the specs in test/ci/spack-*.yaml change or the runner image is bumped.
