Editor support for Spack config files

To get validation and autocompletion of Spack configuration files, enable an extension for the YAML Language Server Protocol (LSP) in your editor of choice.

• Visual Studio Code: Install the YAML Language Support extension by Red Hat.

Then add the following line at the top of your YAML file:
