This is hopefully a minor transition: prrte3 -> prrte4 , only used by OpenMPI whhich builds and tests successfully with prrte4

pmix will be updated at the same time. This is technically not a transition, but
internally they can be incompatible.
Affected packages:
  fortran-caffeine, gasnet, openmpi, prrte, slurm-wlm, ucc

I have tested this change (pmix 6.0.0+really5.0.9-3 to 6.1.1~rc2-1) with prrte4 and all the above package build and work.

There is a cascade of MPI packages that depend on these and in principle need transitioning, but the APIs by design do not propagate pmix/prrte changes.

Regards
Alastair
