libstk_mesh_base in 12.6.1 includes references to undefined stk::CommBuffer

[bavier]

Building examples in TrilinosCouplings from the Trilinos 12.6.1 release tarball leads to the following build failures for me:

And similarly for several other examples, though the error seems like it would cause trouble for any use of the stk_mesh_base library.

The issue appears to be that the stk_util_parallel library was disabled in the 12.6.1 release branch: 8fa3258, whose comment appears to suggest the intent was to disable the test, rather than removing the library completely?
