release/1.8.0: bug fix for compiling [email protected] with gfortran < 10 in spack package, remove from container configs

[climbfuji]

Summary

For release/1.8.0: Update submodule pointer for spack for the changes in JCSDA/spack#477. Remove g2 compiler flags in container configs, since these are now in the g2 package itself.

Also include a bug fix to adjust the py-numpy version to match what is in configs/common/packages.yaml since yesterday (1.23.5).

Note that the gettext and grib-util updates in JCSDA/spack#477 are not part of this PR. They were tested earlier and merged into spack release/1.8.0, but the submodule pointer in spack-stack release/1.8.0 wasn't updated after that.

Testing

Ignore any Github actions CI errors reported below. They are not meaningful for PRs going into release/1.8.0 (I tried to run them but messed up something).

"Manual" CI testing via workflow_dispatch is recorded below shows that the clang-mpich container builds successfully (which requires the g2 flags), but then the CI run screwed up because of my manual modifications to the Github actions workflow (that I have since reverted): https://github.com/JCSDA/spack-stack/actions/runs/10724678450/job/29740852419.

Therefore, this is good to merge.
