PRs #894 / JCSDA/spack#377 are adding three cylc components to the unified-dev and skylab-dev templates. These packages explicitly require sed as a dependency, which doesn't build with Intel (at least on AWS ParallelCluster). Since it's such a basic utility and available on all Linux platforms (and macOS if not caring about gnu-sed`), we must add it to the external packages on the supported tier-1 platforms at least (and consider updating the instructions for new Linux and macOS site configs).
