Update mpi.cmake to utilize UCX if requested

Andrew Bauer requested to merge acbauer/common-superbuild:mpi_ucx into master

Changes are based on work from Kevin Dean (kevinedwarddean@gmail.com) in an alternate MR that because outdated.

The goal is to take advantage of infiniband devices utilizing the channel for ucx. I have added an argument that will reset the "default device channel" if it is enabled. I have also added another argument that will give a user an opportunity to point towards an external version of UCX. Recently, I myself ran into a few issues, on an HPC, that needed a newer version in order to resolve them. However, in order to utilize other arguments, a user must enable ucx. Otherwise, the build will be the same as it is now.

Example 1:

cmake \
-DENABLE_mpi:BOOL=ON \
-DUSE_SYSTEM_mpi:BOOL=OFF \
-Dmpi_ENABLE_UCX:BOOL=ON \
-Dmpi_ADDITIONAL_CONFIG_ARGS:STRING="--enable-debuginfo;--enable-cxx" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix \
../src && make

Example 2:

cmake \
-DENABLE_mpi:BOOL=ON \
-DUSE_SYSTEM_mpi:BOOL=OFF \
-Dmpi_ENABLE_UCX:BOOL=ON \
-Dmpi_ADDITIONAL_CONFIG_ARGS:STRING="--with-ucx=[dir];--enable-debuginfo" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix \
../src && make

This is essentially a continuation of !397 (closed)
