add pre-configure hook to adjust configure options for Zoltan when ParMETIS is not a dependency

[boegel]

I tested this manually, and confirmed it fixes the problem that occurred in EESSI/software-layer#1515, where building Zoltan failed with:

fatal error: parmetis.h: No such file or directory

Also, configure output of Zoltan now shows this, as expected:

checking whether to use parmetis... no

LGTM

Also tested it, works as intended!
