infinipath-psm is a legacy Intel TrueScale PSM library for obsolete
InfiniBand hardware. It was dropped from RHEL 8+, but the Fedora spec
conditionally requires it when %{fedora} is set (which is truthy in
AZL). AZL does not package infinipath-psm. Remove the BuildRequires.
The modern psm2 provider (from libpsm2) remains available.
Build verified locally; fi_info --version and provider list tested in mock.

Pull request overview
This PR introduces an Azure Linux-specific libfabric component override to drop an obsolete Fedora-only conditional BuildRequires on infinipath-psm-devel, which is not packaged in Azure Linux and targets legacy Intel TrueScale hardware.
Changes:
- Add a dedicated
libfabric.comp.tomldefining an overlay to removeBuildRequires: infinipath-psm-devel. - Remove the now-redundant inline
[components.libfabric]entry frombase/comps/components.toml(since**/*.comp.tomlis included automatically).

Note: I did evaluate setting
rhel=10and unsetting%fedorabut this combo ends up removing psm2 which we may want to preserve.
