To be precise, given this hypothetical launching pattern:
host1: vpids 0, 2, 4, 6
host2: vpids 1, 3, 5, 7
The local_rank for these procs would be:
host1: vpids 0->local_rank 0, v2->lr1, v4->lr2, v6->lr3
host2: vpids 1->local_rank 0, v3->lr1, v5->lr2, v7->lr3
and the number of local procs on each node would be four. If vpid=0 then does a comm_spawn of one process on host1, the values of the parent job would remain unchanged. The local_rank of the child process would be 0 and its num_local_procs would be 1 since it is in a separate jobid.
I have verified this functionality for the rsh case - need to verify that slurm and other cases also get the right values. Some consolidation of common code is probably going to occur in the SDS components to make this simpler and more maintainable in the future.

Test for system limits (where known) prior to doing things like fork and pipe since some systems aren't very nice about it when we try to exceed such limits.

1. Fix the "hang" condition when an application isn't found. It turned out that the ODLS had some difficulty with the process actually not having been started - hence, it never called the waitpid callback. As a result, the "terminated" trigger didn't fire, and so mpirun didn't wake up. With this change, the HNP's errmgr forces the issue by causing the trigger to fire itself when an abort condition occurs.
2. Shift the recording of the pid and the nodename from mpi_init to the orted launcher. This allows programs such as Eclipse PTP to get the pids even for non-MPI applications. In the case of bproc, the pls handles this chore since we don't use orteds in that system.
