This option is problematic, and has never worked in an Open MPI v4.0.x
release tarball. Given that PMIx is now available elsewhere, it isn't
worth fixing this option.

See #6228 for more detail.

NOTE: This is a v4.0.x-specific commit because this option no longer
exists on master because we deleted the entire pmix3x component.
Hence, it's not possible to cherry-pick anything from master back to
the v4.0.x branch.

Talked about this one with RMs on 29 June 2020: IBM is going to check into and see if they are using this option internally (there's a thought they this may have been used internally in IBM).

If IBM is using it, we probably don't want to fully remove this option -- but there may need to be more work to make this option work properly and/or put some bumpers around it to protect it from being mis-used / failing.

If IBM is not using it, this PR should be merged so that v4.0.x and v4.1.x stay in sync.

I checked our code, and couldn't find any reference to it. Also, after conferring with @jjhursey, he isn't aware of any dependencies IBM has on it either.

I think we're good. @gpaulsen
