Local translation on Linux currently fails with the error: No SGEMM backend on CPU

This is because no backends for the CTranslate2 library are being built, so we can enable OpenBLAS for it and require that it be available on Linux as it's a pretty easy dependency to add

We can also enable the use of OpenBLAS in Whisper too if we're requiring it to be present for CT2, which should speed up CPU transcription as well

Fixes: #177

Does not fix the other issue that may still mean that local translation doesn't work
