The Open MPI code base assumed that asprintf always behaved like
the FreeBSD variant, where ptr is set to NULL on error. However,
the C standard (and Linux) only guarantee that the return code will
be -1 on error and leave ptr undefined. Rather than fix all the
usage in the code, we use opal_asprintf() wrapper instead, which
guarantees the BSD-like behavior of ptr always being set to NULL.
In addition to being correct, this will fix many, many warnings
in the Open MPI code base.

This commit rewrites both the mpool and rcache frameworks. Summary of
changes:
- Before this change a significant portion of the rcache
functionality lived in mpool components. This meant that it was
impossible to add a new memory pool to use with rdma networks
(ugni, openib, etc) without duplicating the functionality of an
existing mpool component. All the registration functionality has
been removed from the mpool and placed in the rcache framework.
- All registration cache mpools components (udreg, grdma, gpusm,
rgpusm) have been changed to rcache components. rcaches are
allocated and released in the same way mpool components were.
- It is now valid to pass NULL as the resources argument when
creating an rcache. At this time the gpusm and rgpusm components
support this. All other rcache components require non-NULL
resources.
- A new mpool component has been added: hugepage. This component
supports huge page allocations on linux.
- Memory pools are now allocated using "hints". Each mpool component
is queried with the hints and returns a priority. The current hints
supported are NULL (uses posix_memalign/malloc), page_size=x (huge
page mpool), and mpool=x.
- The sm mpool has been moved to common/sm. This reflects that the sm
mpool is specialized and not meant for any general
allocations. This mpool may be moved back into the mpool framework
if there is any objection.
- The opal_free_list_init arguments have been updated. The unused0
argument is not used to pass in the registration cache module. The
mpool registration flags are now rcache registration flags.
- All components have been updated to make use of the new framework
interfaces.
As this commit makes significant changes to both the mpool and rcache
frameworks both versions have been bumped to 3.0.0.
