… UI remains the same. 2. install_self kwarg added to do_install(). Enables installation of a package's dependencies without installing the package itself. 3. Added `spack install --dependencies-only <package>` command.

Sorry if I am late at being picky here, but I find the API of do_install growing quite unintuitive. Now we may call a do_install that does no install at all, while the semantic needed for this PR could have been obtained directly in the install command traversing the DAG with or without root and calling an unmodified version of do_install from there.

This allows Spack to install just a package's dependencies, without installing the package itself. Useful for non-standard packages, such as
modele, which can't be installed with a simplespack install.
