have timer support
* Default timer size should be a long, not an int. Int will roll over way
too fast, with no performance benifit on 64 bit machines...

Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.
Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

different precisions, one should manually promote the
participants to the expected type. In this particular
example as opal_list_get_size returns an unsigned long,
the computation on the left side is translated to an
unsigned. If the hostfile contains more nodes that what
required (via the -np), this leads to a gigantic value
for the balance, and breaks the round robin algorithm.

not yet sure how and why, but packing a uint8_t with opal_dss lead to
weird values during unpack (except if the original value is already
set to zero).

the previous pack was larger than the allowed space in the pack buffer
bad things happened. Thanks to Yuki MATSUMOTO and Takahiro Kawashima

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.
