#48086: mpich subports use -devel suffix incorrectly

Comment (by eborisch@…):
I will have to think about this more later; I will say that mpich /
openmpi are a bit of 'odd ducks' here as they both provide an MPI
implementation (compiler wrappers, headers, libraries) that are designed
to be interchangeable and share a select interface ('mpi'). As such, it is
nice to be able to have multiple flavors available (even installed at the
same time) for use **outside of macports** for testing MPI (for example
against current and beta versions of MPICH) software. Ports that use mpi
(via the mpi port group) get their compiler values set to the explicit
paths -- without requiring select's use; the variants selected determines
which one is used.
The original discussion referenced in #14540 was prior to {{{port
select}}}'s inclusion (r44693) -- which may influence the discussion
depending on your viewpoint.
