1. Fix ompi_info memory leak in usnic BTL: do not allocate memory in
the component register function, because ompi_info only calls the
component register function and then dlclose's the component -- it
does not call component finalize. Instead, defer parsing the MCA
param (and alloc'ing memory) until the component init function so
that any allocated memory can be freed in the component close
function.
1. Also add a new check to ensure that we actually have some part
numbers to check. Add a show_help message if we don't find any
vendor part IDs to check.
1. Add a verbose output if usnic disqualifies itself from selection
because THREAD_MULTIPLE was specified.

changes required to support MPI_Bsend(). Introduces concept of
attaching a buffer to a large segment that the PML can scribble into and
we will send from. The reason we don't use a pinned buffer and send
directly from that is that usnic_verbs does not (yes) support num_sge>1
for regular sends. This means the data gets copied twice, but that is
unavoidable.
changed the logic in handle_large_send to be more sensible

improvements:
* Fix minor memory leaks during component_init
* Ensure that an initialization loop does not underflow an unsigned int
* Improve mlock limit checking
* Fix set of BTL modules created during component_init when failing to
get QP resources or otherwise excluding some (but not all) usnic
verbs devices
* Fix/improve error messages to be consistent with other Cisco
documentation
* Randomize the initial sliding window sequence number so that we
silently drop incoming frames from previous jobs that still have
existant processes in the middle of dying (and are still
transmitting)
* Ensure we don't break out of add_procs too soon and create an
asymetrical view of what interfaces are available

This BTL accesses the Cisco usNIC Linux device via the Linux verbs
API via Unreliable Datagram queue pairs. A few noteworthy points:
* This BTL does most of its own fragmentation; it tells the PML that
it has a very high max_send_size (much higher than the network
MTU).
* Since UD fragments are, by definition, unreliable, the usnic BTL
handles all of its own reliability via a sliding window approach
using the opal_hotel construct and many tricks stolen from the
corpus of knowledge surrounding efficient TCP.
* There is a fun PML latency-metric based optimization for NUMA
awareness of short messages.
* Note that this is ''not'' a generic UD verbs BTL; it is specific to
the Cisco usNIC device.
