Include Hyperlinks in Language Bindings

[wesbland]

Problem

The current document produced by the mpi-4-rc Makefile does not produce correct links in the bindings chapter. @wgropp has said this is something that gets added manually later, but there was a request by the Forum during the 2021-01-08 meeting to see this in the MPI 4.0 RC 2 document produced for the FRM in February.

Fixed by PR 473. Note that this requires an obscure program, so if that's not available, no links will be generated.

I can confirm that this works if you install Sowing as the comments now mention. There are now links from each function to its definition. Is this PDF what you were looking for @dholmes-epcc-ed-ac-uk and @RolfRabenseifner?

Partially, yes. The MPI handles types---MPI_Datatype, etc---were also hyperlinks in the previous MPI standard document.

[wgropp]

Ok, I must have changed something else that broke the handle mapping. I'll fix that this weekend.
