[petsc-dev] p4est w/o MPI

Hmm.  So if petsc always compiles mpiuni if --with-mpi=0, then it makes me think it should be possible to drop requires(MPI) from p4est, while still passing `--enable-mpi` to p4est.

Maybe: if mpiuni doesn't provide some esoteric part of MPI that p4est uses, it will break.

Thanks! Another issue:

mpiuni provides mpi.h. And I get the following errors when building PETSc.

/home/balay/petsc/arch-linux-c-debug/include/sc.h:87:2: error: #error "mpi.h is included.  Use --enable-mpi."
   87 | #error "mpi.h is included.  Use --enable-mpi."
      |  ^~~~~

etc..
