Merge #6369

6369: working issue with MPI_CC / CC conflict in automake r=hkaiser a=ct-clmsn

Fixes #

An issue with MPI_CC/CC conflict with gasnet-conduit-mpi autotools (autoconf in gasnet).

## Proposed Changes

  - set MPI_CC to the user set CMAKE_C_COMPILER
  - set ENV{MPI_CC} to CMAKE_C_COMPILER
  - set MPI_C_COMPILER to CMAKE_C_COMPILER
  
## Any background context you want to provide?

When gasnet compiles it automatically detects for mpi. If it finds MPI then MPI_CC is set. If MPI_CC is set to a compiler that does not match the CMAKE_C_COMPILER set by a user to compile gasnet, then a runtime exception happens during gasnet's build.

## Checklist

Not all points below apply to all pull requests.

- [ ] I have added a new feature and have added tests to go along with it.
- [ ] I have fixed a bug and have added a regression test.
- [ ] I have added a test using random numbers; I have made sure it uses a seed, and that random numbers generated are valid inputs for the tests.
