Clarify in README what --with-hwloc does in its different use cases.

Also, ensure that the behavior when specifying --with-hwloc is the
same as if that option is not specified at all. This is what we did
in Open MPI <= v3.x; looks like we inadvertantly caused --with-hwloc
to be synonymous with --with-hwloc=external in v4.0.0.
