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.

Let's not make the move to OPAL any harder than it has to be; this
commit can wait until after the BTL move.

Previously, we were only checking connectivity upon first ''send'' to
a peer. But this ignores the case where the first communication to a
peer is actually an ACK -- i.e., we successfully received something
from the peer and we need to send an ACK back. So we need to verify
that the ACK will actually get there.
Specifically, certain asymmetric routing cases can lead to a hang if
we don't check the connectivity in both directions. E.g., if the
sender is able to get traffic to the receiver, but the receiver is
unable to get traffic back to the sender because it made a different
routing decision than the sender.
In this case, the connectivity checker from the sender could succeed
(because the connectivity checker will ACK along the same path in
which the ping was received), but sending a BTL ACK could fail
(because the BTL ACK will be sent back along the path chosen by the
graph algorithm, which, in an erroneous asymmetric routing scenario,
may be different/wrong).
Hence, we want to trigger the connectivity checker at the first
communication from A->B, which may either be a BTL send or an ACK.

- Portals4/OSC was unable to acquire an exclusive lock due to an invalid
local address in the atomic operation. This caused the reported hang.
- After fixing the hang, the test continued to fail because
ompi_datatype_is_contiguous_memory_layout() reports that MPI_EMPTY (the
origin datatype) is noncontiguous and Portals4/OSC does not support
noncontiguous datatypes at this time. However, in this case the origin
count is zero so contiguous/noncontiguous is irrelevant. Now we skip
the contiguous check if the count is zero.

Fix a copy-n-paste error: the ompi/pompi interfaces should not have
optional ierror arguments. Optional ierror arguments are only used in
the MPI_<foo> interfaces. The ompi/pompi interfaces are the actual
underlying routines (in C, incidentally, which is why they're declared
as BIND(C)), and do not have optional ierror arguments.
Also fix a typo in the BIND(C) name for pompi_win_shared_query_f().

and call the magic probe in all other cases.

If we don't explicitly declare that (a == NULL && b == NULL) is
equivalent to qsort, we could end up with wonky sorting order. I.e.,
it's *possible* that some NULLs could end up in the middle of the
array.
Regardless of whether it will ever happen in practice, it makes the
code more clear to also handle the "both are NULL" case.
Also fix the 2-spacing indents.
