Description
Corrects a problem in the MPI mode implementation of HTEx. SingleNodeLauncher creates too many workers when running in MPI mode because it launches multiple copies of the executor onto the head node.
We want SimpleLauncher, which (instead) launches a single copy of the executor.
Changed Behaviour
Anything that uses the MPI mode will now create the desired number of workers.
Fixes
No issue, but see discussion in Slack.
