Allow embedded module to be built as a shared library.
There are libfabric providers that rely on library contructors that do not seem to work correctly when libfabric is statically linked to MPICH. Rather than having to tell users to avoid certain providers in an embedded configuration, always use a shared library to avoid the problem.
