It never lived up to its purpose (and has caused amorphous indirect
errors such as https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/2519), so
delete it.

This PR renames the common library for OFI libfabric from
libfabric to ofi. There are a number of reasons this
is good to do:
1) its shorter and replaces 9 characters with three for
function names for what may eventually be a fairly extensive interface
2) OFI is the term used for MTL and RML components that use
the OFI libfabric interface
3) A planned OSC component will also use the OFI term.
4) Other HPC libraries that can use OFI libfabric tend to use
the term "ofi" internally and also in their configure options
relevant to OFI libfabric (i.e. MPICH/CH4, Intel MPI, Sandia SHMEM)
There seem to be comments in places in the Open MPI source
code that indicate that this common library will be going away.
Far from it as we will want to be able to share things like
AV objects between OMPI and possibly OSHMEM components that
use the OFI libfabric interface.
This PR also adds a synonym to the --with-libfabric(-libdir)
configury options: --with-ofi and with-ofi-libdir.
