Registering software environments in CK

This is a relatively stable repository used to register environment of various software in CK to let multiple versions of different easily co-exist, automatically resolve dependencies during tool installation, and support experimentation with various versions of tools. For example, we use it for autotuning with different versions of LLVM, GCC, ICC, etc.
