openmpi: Add stub mpirun script for openmpi~legacylaunchers+slurm (#11059)

This adds a stub script for mpirun and other standard executables
when installing OpenMPI with slurm. The purpose is to make the
removal less of a surprise to administrators/users: it explains why
they were removed and how to restore them.
