BUG: Using modin with APT-installed MPI on linux doesn't work

[sfc-gh-mvashishtha]

Modin version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest released version of Modin.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of Modin. (In order to do this you can follow this guide.)

Reproducible Example

sudo apt install libmpich-dev
python -m pip install -e "modin[mpi]"
MODIN_ENGINE=unidist UNIDIST_BACKEND=mpi mpiexec -n 1 python -c "import modin.pandas as pd; print(pd.DataFrame([1,2,3]))"

Issue Description

MPI fails to start and gives errors like Error in spawn call. Example: https://github.com/modin-project/modin/actions/runs/12753981920/job/35546821512?pr=7420#logs

Expected Behavior

modin[mpi] should run without error.

Installed Versions

I don't know; I don't have a linux machine, and we saw this issue in CI on ubuntu: https://github.com/modin-project/modin/actions/runs/12753981920/job/35546821512?pr=7420#logs
