As we changed the ABI (forcing a major release), we can limit
the size of the predefined communicators by moving the collective

some of the collective modules. Added a new function
opan_datatype_span, to compute the memory span of
count number of datatype, excluding the gaps in the
beginning and at the end. If a memory allocation is
made using the returned value, the gap (also returned)
should be removed from the allocated pointer.
