Update mailing list links for Google Groups

jsquyres · jsquyres · commit f167d5448b60 · 2025-01-05T17:21:16.000Z
In January of 2025, we migrated all the mailing lists away from GNU
Mailman to Google Groups.  We also consolidated and removed a few
lists.

Update the mailing list pages to reflect the most current / correct
information about the Open MPI, hwloc, and MTT mailing lists.
