Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

* Check for {{{dlfcn.h}}} in the self component's configure.m4 (also clean up the .m4 a bit.
* Adjust the priority of the BLCR component so that the self component has a higher priority (if the application went to the trouble of writing the routines, why not use them.) The 'self' component checks for the appropriate functions during query, so it know if it -can- be used during component selection.
* Adjust some copyrights that I missed before
* Fix a warning when casing the result of dlsym() into a function pointer. There is a bit of pointer magic to make this happen (thanks to the following website, and RedHat EL 4 man pages for illustrating it:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlsym.html
Passing to Jeff for a final review of the patch before moving to v1.3.

Due to the visibility patch to libltdl in r21731, this module can no longer access or use the libltdl interfaces directly. Instead just use the dlopen/dlsym/dlclose functions directly. This is a portability implication here, but for the moment it does not seem to bite us.
Also in this patch, cleanup some of the 'self' specific code paths.
* opal-restart need not special case the 'self' component since it can now interact with it as if it were a normal component.
* Cleanup the initialization of the cmd line arguments in opal-restart.
* Make sure to mark opal-restart as a 'tool', but do so by setting the global variable directly instead of setting the environment variable, which could be inherited by the application.
* Most of the functions in the 'self' component should not be used by a command line tool (exception being 'restart'), so make sure that if we accidently call them then errors are returned.
* Increase the priority of the 'none' component to be above that of 'self' when being selected in a command line tool. This allows for both mpirun and opal-restart to work correctly with the 'self' module.

* add "register" function to mca_base_component_t
* converted coll:basic and paffinity:linux and paffinity:solaris to
use this function
* we'll convert the rest over time (I'll file a ticket once all
this is committed)
* add 32 bytes of "reserved" space to the end of mca_base_component_t
and mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t to make future upgrades
[slightly] easier
* new mca_base_component_t size: 196 bytes
* new mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t size: 36 bytes
* MCA base version bumped to v2.0
* '''We now refuse to load components that are not MCA v2.0.x'''
* all MCA frameworks versions bumped to v2.0
* be a little more explicit about version numbers in the MCA base
* add big comment in mca.h about versioning philosophy

Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
I promoted the ''none'' component to a full component, and updated the other components to reflect this code movement. The ''none'' component is the default component unless the user requests '''-am ft-enable-cr''' to auto-select a component. There is an MCA parameter to show a warning if the application requested an FT enabled job, but the ''none'' component was selected ({{{crs_none_select_warning}}}).
This temporarily fixes the problem mentioned in r18739. The full fix will entail working on ticket #1291.
Thanks to Ethan from Sun for finding this bug.
