Since macOS doesn't ship with OpenMPI (they remove it from the version of Clang they include) we'd rather not use it here because we expect a decent share of our users to be on Macs. This de-parallelizes the parts of the code that had been using OpenMPI and leaves behind some notes to guide future work re-implementing the parallelism.
As a side bonus, all new-ish versions of GCC should now also work, and the specific GCC version reference in the Makefile has been removed.
