Implemented the 'show_status' fetcher flag, which allows the user to customize the appearance of the status bar when fetching packages (defaults to true).

Oddly, upgrading the major version of my OS seems to have solved the problems I was having with the curl fetcher. Since it looks like workarounds for this type of problem are going to be very different than this solution anyway, I'm going to close this PR. |

The changes in this pull request add preliminary support for configuring the utilities that Spack uses in order to fetch archives from the web. This preliminary support includes the following features:
fetchers.yamlas the recognized configuration file for Spack fetchers.show_statusconfiguration option, which can be used to specify whether or not Spack displays a progress bar when downloading archives (useful since the progress bar forcurlis broken in many environments).I'm hoping to extend this set of configuration options sometime soon to make it possible to configure Spack's default archive fetcher (i.e. adding an option like
fetcher: (curl|wget|...)). Other configuration options could also be added to solve the problems discussed in #69 and #895.Please let me know if there are any problems with this implementation or any improvements that I can make to it!
