[petsc-users] configure error with fftw and without mpi

[Barry Smith]

  I have made a branch barry/2021-11-25/feature-fftw-seq  https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/4604 <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/4604> that provides support for using FFTW without MPI, please let us know if you have difficulties with it.
