Add checks for libevent.so conflict with LSF
 * LSF ships a `libevent.so` that is no related to the `libevent.so` shipped with Libevent. * Add some checks to the configure logic to detect scenarios where this conflict can be detected, and provide the user with a descriptive warning message. - When detected by `event/external` this is just a warning since the internal component may be able to be used instead. - This happens when the user supplies the LSF path via the `LDFLAGS` envar instead of via `--with-lsf-libdir`. - When detected by a LSF component and LSF was explicitly requested then this becomes an error. Otherwise it will just print the warning and that component will fail to build. Signed-off-by: Joshua Hursey <[email protected]>
