Add toolchains for LCG nightlies

Marco Clemencic requested to merge add-lcg-nightlies-entry-points into master

The most flexible way to use LCG nightlies via lcg-toolchains is through the special toolchain file special/lcg-nightly.cmake, but that is very unpractical for end users, who would prefer to do something like LCG_VERSION=dev4 as they do LCG_VERSION=100.

With this MR I add a bunch of toolchains (ultimately delegating to special/lcg-nightly.cmake) that can be found specifying as LCG_VERSION strings like:

  • dev4
  • dev4/Today
  • dev4/Wed

where dev<X> and dev<X>/Today are equivalent and both delegate to the specific dev<X>/<day>.

With this approach one is required to create the specific files before using a new platform for LCG nightlies.
