Docs: MPI Standard
Created by: ax3l
Just because I didn't find it in the docs: what's the minimum MPI standard/API interface you expect? MPI 2.3+?
I was recently installing against OpenMPI 1.6.5 on a legacy CI script (MPI 2.1 on Ubuntu "Trusty") and just saw it didn't pass
adios2/engine/insitumpi/InSituMPIReader.cpp:456:9:

note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char *' to 'void *' for 1st argument OMPI_DECLSPEC int MPI_Isend(void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest, ...
Of course, there is no reason to support such ancient MPI's but we might want to document and enforce this check within CMake.
