Externals Update, master branch (2022.03.01.) (!50835) · Merge requests · atlas / athena

Fixed the setup of the LCG_python3 cache variable for CORAL and COOL;
- This shall make it possible to perform ABI compatible patches on COOL in the future in the offline projects as well;
Moved all cache variable settings into the PreConfig.cmake scripts of all the projects;
- This was meant to fix ATLINFR-4377, though in practice !50555 (merged) was a better fix for that exact problem;
Updated flake8 to version 4.0.1;
- On @fwinkl's suggestion I'm adding full-build and full-unit-tests to this MR, so that the updated python checks would be run for all of our code.
Added FindVc.cmake to AtlasLCG, and made use of it in AthenaExternals;
- This is meant to fix the unit test issues seen in the dev3 nightlies since quite a while. Hopefully also fixing most of the compilation issues along the way... (Pinging @mnowak and @simmons.)

Note that while full-build is on the MR, it should be safe to merge in without cleaning the CI nodes. 😉
