[Feature Request] - Update `openmpi` to latest #492

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently openmpi is using v4.1.2 which is from Nov of 2021. There are a number of fixes and improvements that have gone in to openmpi since v4.1.2 https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/compare/v4.1.2...v4.1.6

Describe the solution you'd like

Update version of `openmpi`` to latest minor version 4.1.6 (or whatever the latest minor may be at the time this is implemented)
- Note: There is a pending v5.0.0 but I think that would be safer to wait till AL2025 due to the major version increment (breaking changes)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Installing from source but this makes it more challenging in containers due to build/compilation dependencies
