use (=|:=) in regex because OpenFOAM rule files use := instead of = since v2212

@mboisson Can you clarify in the PR description how problems manifest if OpenFOAM v2212 was installed without this fix (which errors, etc.)?

The way it manifested for us is that redistributePar and a few other binaries are not compiled with the MPI compiler, which in our case resulted in libmpi.so.4 not being found (it is coming from another library) because the proper RPATH was not injected in the executable. This is not an issue for sites that use LD_LIBRARY_PATH because the shared object is then found through that. For these sites, the issue is probably more subtle and it probably manifests itself by the wrong flags being used.

A way to detect that would probably to test whether the regex actually applied something. In our case, for example, not fixed (avx2)

(returns nothing), vs fixed (avx512):
