1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

MCA_BTL_SM_FRAG_SEND) and status success/fail in low bits of pointers we
are passing through circular buffer. The rank that receives ACK doesn't need
to look into data it received and this is a big win since this data is not in
the cache of the rank's CPU. (Note that we can use low bits of pointers because
free_list always return pointers aligned at least to cache line size).

This is not a problem for a small jobs, but for a big number of ranks an
amount of waisted memory is big.

* Make sure we always have a number of eager fragments available
that scales with the number of processes communicating with
a given proc over shared memory
* Use FREE_LIST_GET instead of FREE_LIST_WAIT to return an
error to the PML when resource exhaustion occurs
* Don't dereference the frag during alloc unless we're sure
it's not NULL
