Add a framework to support different types of threading models including
user space thread packages such as Qthreads and argobot:
https://github.com/pmodels/argobotshttps://github.com/Qthreads/qthreads
The default threading model is pthreads. Alternate thread models are
specificed at configure time using the --with-threads=X option.
The framework is static. The theading model to use is selected at
Open MPI configure/build time.
mca/threads: implement Argobots threading layer
config: fix thread configury
- Add double quotations
- Change Argobot to Argobots
config: implement Argobots check
If the poll time is too long, MPI hangs.
This quick fix just sets it to 0, but it is not good for the
Pthreads version. Need to find a good way to abstract it.
Note that even 1 (= 1 millisecond) causes disastrous performance
degradation.
rework threads MCA framework configury
It now works more like the ompi/mca/rte configury,
modulo some edge items that are special for threading package
linking, etc.
qthreads module
some argobots cleanup

There are now four functions and one global constant:
* opal_progress_thread_name: the name of the OPAL-wide async progress
thread. If you have general purpose events that you need to run in
*a* progress thread, but not a *dedicated* progress thread, use this
name in the functions below to glom your events on to the general
OPAL-wide async progress thread.
* opal_progress_thread_init(): return an event base corresponding to a
progress thread of the specified name (a progress thread will be
created for that name if it does not already exist).
* opal_progress_thread_finalize(): decrement the refcount on the
passed progress thread name. If the refcount is 0, stop the thread
and destroy the event base.
* opal_progress_thread_pause(): stop processing events on the event
base corresponding to the progress thread name, but do not destroy
the event base.
* opal_progess_thread_resume(): resume processing events on the event
base corresponding to a previously-paused progress thread name.
