openmpi.spec: Fix Open MPI packaging issue

Libtool archive files (.la files) create an unnecessary dependency
between linked applications and the development versions of packages
upon which Open MPI depends (to get the .so.1 -> .so symlink).

Remove .la libtool archive files to keep the best practice in
package builders.
