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.

12 Sep 2011 Notes for hwloc component maintainers: 1. There can only be *1* hwloc version component at a time. Specifically: if there are multiple hwlocXYZ components (i.e., different versions of hwloc), then they must all be .ompi_ignore'd except for 1. This is because we currently m4_include all of the underlying hwloc's .m4 files -- if there are multiple hwlocXYZ components, I don't know if m4 will barf at the multiple, conflicting AC_DEFUNs, or whether it'll just do something completely undefined. 1a. As a consequence, if you're adding a new hwloc version component, you'll need to .ompi_ignore all others while you're testing the new one. 2. If someone wants to fix #1 someday, we might be able to do what we do for libevent: OPAL_CONFIG_SUBDIR (instead of slurping in hwloc's .m4 files).
