Have a few unnecessary archive library archives in our lib directory.
I was looking at our lib directory in a distribution and noticed that there were 4 archive libraries in the directory. I believe we only need to have shared libraries in there. Here is what I got from a distribution built on quartz.
ls visit3_3_0.linux-x86_64/3.3.0/linux-x86_64/lib/*.a
visit3_3_0.linux-x86_64/3.3.0/linux-x86_64/lib/libblosc.a
visit3_3_0.linux-x86_64/3.3.0/linux-x86_64/lib/libsiloh5.a
visit3_3_0.linux-x86_64/3.3.0/linux-x86_64/lib/libsz.a
visit3_3_0.linux-x86_64/3.3.0/linux-x86_64/lib/libz.a
We should check that we aren't using the static version before removing the archive library in case a plugin developer needed it. In the case of blosc
we aren't. We should also look into only building the shared version instead of doing both.
