I modified the internal launcher so that by default it doesn't pass
-ppn to the mpiexec and mpirun commands. If the system needs to have
the internal launcher pass -ppn to the mpiexec or mpirun commands then
the custom launcher for the system will need to set "useppnmpiexec = 1"
or "useppnmpirun = 1" in the overrides of the JobSubmitter_mpiexec,
JobSubmitter_mpirun and JobSubmitter_qsub classes. I did this for the
NERSC custom launcher. This resolves #2032.
