* Resolves#3705
* Components should link against the project level library to better
support `dlopen` with `RTLD_LOCAL`.
* Extend the `mca_FRAMEWORK_COMPONENT_la_LIBADD` in the `Makefile.am`
with the appropriate project level library:
```
MCA components in ompi/
$(top_builddir)/ompi/lib@OMPI_LIBMPI_NAME@.la
MCA components in orte/
$(top_builddir)/orte/lib@ORTE_LIB_PREFIX@open-rte.la
MCA components in opal/
$(top_builddir)/opal/lib@OPAL_LIB_PREFIX@open-pal.la
MCA components in oshmem/
$(top_builddir)/oshmem/liboshmem.la"
```
Note: The changes in this commit were automated by the script in
the commit that proceeds it with the `libadd_mca_comp_update.py`
script. Some components were not included in this change because
they are statically built only.

This commit updates the ugni btl to make use of multiple device
contexts to improve the multi-threaded RMA performance. This commit
contains the following:
- Cleanup the endpoint structure by removing unnecessary field. The
structure now also contains all the fields originally handled by the
common/ugni endpoint.
- Clean up the fragment allocation code to remove the need to
initialize the my_list member of the fragment structure. This
member is not initialized by the free list initializer function.
- Remove the (now unused) common/ugni component. btl/ugni no longer
need the component. common/ugni was originally split out of
btl/ugni to support bcol/ugni. As that component exists there is no
reason to keep this component.
- Create wrappers for the ugni functionality required by
btl/ugni. This was done to ease supporting multiple device
contexts. The wrappers are thread safe and currently use a spin
lock instead of a mutex. This produces better performance when
using multiple threads spread over multiple cores. In the future
this lock may be replaced by another serialization mechanism. The
wrappers are located in a new file: btl_ugni_device.h.
- Remove unnecessary device locking from serial parts of the ugni
btl. This includes the first add-procs and module finalize.
- Clean up fragment wait list code by moving enqueue into common
function.
- Expose the communication domain flags as an MCA variable. The
defaults have been updated to reflect the recommended setting for
knl and haswell.
- Avoid allocating fragments for communication with already
overloaded peers.
- Allocate RDMA endpoints dyncamically. This is needed to support
spreading RMA operations accross multiple contexts.
- Add support for spreading RMA communication over multiple ugni
device contexts. This should greatly improve the threading
performance when communicating with multiple peers. By default the
number of virtual devices depends on 1) whether
opal_using_threads() is set, 2) how many local processes are in the
job, and 3) how many bits are available in the pid. The last is
used to ensure that each CDM is created with a unique id.

There were mistakes in the Makefiles for the ugni btl and
mca/common/ugni that prevented the ugni btl from being
used unless one happened to set the --disable-dlopen option
on the config line.
This commit fixes this problem.
WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.
