using add_subdirectory() eliminates unnecessary overhead of FetchContent. This allows users to switch mpi on/off more easier with the --fresh CMake option, rather than having to manually delete the build directory.
This doesn't change anything from end-users perspective other than that it's easier to use with less files in the build directory.
