The mpool/memkind component was using a deprecated "partitions" API.
This commit refactors the memkind component to make use of the
supported public API.
The public API uses 3 parameters to specify a mpool "kind":
- a memkind type (which for now is just default or HBM)
- a memkind policy
- a memkind_bits (partly to specify pagesize)
The MCA parameters were changed to reflect these memkind
parameters.
Add a make check test for sanity checking of the memkind component.

This means we need not check for jemalloc in the configure script for
this component. Removing this.
In some machines having the TLS option on can cause errors in
opening this component. --disable-tls while configuring jemalloc.
Please look for instructions for installing jemalloc as a static
library linked directly into memkind in CONTRIBUTING file
