This commit adds a blurb to the README for v4.0.4, suggesting
that users of libmpi_usempif08.so skip over v4.0.3.
Much thanks to Jeff Squyres for help with wording.

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.

Per feedback from https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/6028, remove

openib that is deprecated/superceded (i.e., ob1 is definitely not
deprecated).

As documented in #4563 and #3697, there is an issue on ARM and
POWER platforms when the atomic fifo assembly isn't inlined,
which manifests as a hang. Document the issue and the
work-around until a proper fix is committed.

Give packagers a configure CLI option to set the value of the MCA
variable mca_base_component_show_load_errors.
The --disable form of this option is intended for Open MPI packagers
who tend to enable support for many different types of networks and
systems in their packages. For example, consider a packager who
includes support for both the FOO and BAR networks in their Open MPI
package, both of which require support libraries (libFOO.so and
libBAR.so). If an end user only has BAR hardware, they likely only
have libBAR.so available on their systems -- not libFOO.so. Disabling
load errors by default will prevent the user from seeing potentially
confusing warnings about the FOO components failing to load because
libFOO.so is not available on their systems.
Conversely, system administrators tend to build an Open MPI that is
targeted at their specific environment, and contains few (if any)
components that are not needed. In such cases, they might want their
users to be warned that the FOO network components failed to load
(e.g., if libFOO.so was mistakenly unavailable), because Open MPI may
otherwise silently failover to a slower network path for MPI traffic.

The clang 4.0 compiler that ships with FreeBSD 11.1 doesn't

Move Pathscale bullets closer to each other.
Also add a (sad) note that as of July 2017, the Pathscale compiler
suite no longer has any commercial support, and it does not look like
there will be any further releases.

Lots of people still use GFortran, and lots of people still use
somewhat old versions of it (e.g., if it's bundled in their
older-but-still-installed Linux distros). So let's specifically
mention it. This may be a bit overkill, but more specific docs are
usually a Good Thing (i.e., they can prevent questions from being sent
to the mailing list).

The --enable-new-dtags option for the compiler wrappers is
often great, but for some particular install/usage scenarios
causes issues.
This commit provides a new configury option to use of rpath
in the compiler wrappers, but disables the
use of --enable-new-dtags in the link line.
The new configury option is
--enable-wrappers-runpath
To disable use of --enable-new-dtags in the wrappers, add
--disable-wrappers-runpath
to the Open MPI configury line.

The README on master had grown very, very stale. This commit copies
the README from the tip of the v2.x branch (from
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/3119) and preserves a few minor
differences between master and the v2.x branch.
