gnu: openmpi: Raise the priority of the PSM2 component.

This allows us to get better performance by default on machines with
OmniPath hardware.

* gnu/packages/patches/openmpi-psm2-priority.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/mpi.scm (openmpi)[source]: Use it.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.

PSM2 is the only valid implementation for OmniPath (OPA). UCX also
supports OmniPath, but it does so via Verbs, thus getting much lower
performance (typically 3 GiB/s instead of 10 GiB/s).
To work around that, give the mtl_psm2 component a higher priority
than the pml_ucx component.
