conduit static lib

[mdavis36]

When linking conduit as a static lib we see random MPI segfaults in our ats test suite upon exiting each test (even successful runs).

This was seen with conduit v0.7.2 -> v0.8.2.

I'm not certain if conduit is to blame here or Spheral, as we've seen this before in other situations, but this reproducibly triggers it.

Is it necessary to update conduit to 0.8.2 if we update to the changes in your gitlab-ci branch? We're still on 0.5.1.

Not technically, but @MishaZakharchanka will be bumping our axom version up soon for the Sidre work which also requires conduit to bump as well.

@ptsuji I recently looked into this again. It seems in order to natively support this we will need to bump conduit to 0.8.3, axom to 0.6.1 and include raja per: LLNL/axom#865

We will be pulling raja in as a dependency soon so supporting conduit with a static lib in the Spheral build system is possible. If you don't want to change the conduit and axom versions on your end you probably will be able to link them and there's a good chance things will work, but no promises.
