Sync with NEWS bullets on the 1.7 branch (for 1.7.3).

This commit was SVN r29360.

- Native Windows support has been removed. A cygwin package is
available from that group for Windows-based use.
- Added MPI Java bindings
- Added new usnic BTL to support the Cisco usNIC device
- Wrapper compilers now add rpath support by default to generated
executables on systems that support it. This behavior can be
disabled via --disable-wrapper-rpath. See note in README about ABI
issues when using rpath in MPI applications.
- Add support for MPI_C_*COMPLEX and MPI_CXX_*COMPLEX datatypes.
- Add support for the MPI_COUNT datatype and the associated MPI
functions introduced with MPI-3.
- Add support for the MPI tool information interface (MPI_T).
- Update ompi_info to support limiting output by opal info level.

Peclo for reporting the issue and providing a patch.
- Fixed too-large memory consumption in XRC mode of the openib BTL.
Thanks to Alexey Ryzhikh for the patch.

pointing out the problem.
- Various rankfile fixes.
- Fix functionality over iWARP devices.
- Various memory and performance optimizations and tweaks.
- Fix MPI_Cancel issue identified by Fujitsu.
- Add missing support for MPI_Get_address in the "use mpi" TKR
implementation. Thanks to Hugo Gagnon for identifying the issue.
- MPI-3: Add support for MPI_Count.

ConnectX3-Pro devices.
- Update libevent to v2.0.21.

parameters by default. Add "--level 9" or "--all" to see *all* MCA
parameters. See README for more details.
- Add support for asynchronous CUDA-aware copies.
- Add support for Mellanox MPI collective operation offload via the
"hcoll" library.
