hwloc: clarify --with-hwloc behavior

Clarify in README what --with-hwloc does in its different use cases.

Also, ensure that the behavior when specifying `--with-hwloc` is the
same as if that option is not specified at all.  This is what we did
in Open MPI <= v3.x; looks like we inadvertantly caused `--with-hwloc`
to be synonymous with `--with-hwloc=external` in v4.0.0.

this option is only needed for special configurations.
--with-hwloc(=value)
Build hwloc support (default: enabled). This option specifies where
hwloc is a support library that provides processor and memory
affinity information for NUMA platforms. It is required by Open
MPI. Therefore, specifying --with-hwloc=no (or --without-hwloc) is
disallowed.
By default (i.e., if --with-hwloc is not specified, or if
--with-hwloc is specified without a value), Open MPI will first try
to find/use an hwloc installation on the current system. If Open
MPI cannot find one, it will fall back to build and use the internal
copy of hwloc included in the Open MPI source tree.
Alternatively, the --with-hwloc option can be used to specify where
to find the hwloc support headers and library. The following values
are permitted:
internal: Use Open MPI's internal copy of hwloc.
external: Use an external hwloc installation (rely on default
compiler and linker paths to find it)
<no value>: Same as "internal".
<directory>: Specify the location of a specific hwloc
installation to use
By default (or if --with-hwloc is specified with no VALUE), Open MPI
will build and use the copy of hwloc that it has in its source tree.
However, if the VALUE is "external", Open MPI will look for the
relevant hwloc header files and library in default compiler / linker
locations. Or, VALUE can be a directory tree where the hwloc header
file and library can be found. This option allows operating systems
to include Open MPI and use their default hwloc installation instead
of Open MPI's bundled hwloc.
hwloc is a support library that provides processor and memory
affinity information for NUMA platforms.
internal: Only use Open MPI's internal copy of hwloc.

the specified directory.
