Add support for MPI_Count type and MPI_COUNT datatype and add the required
MPI-3 functions MPI_Get_elements_x, MPI_Status_set_elements_x,
MPI_Type_get_extent_x, MPI_Type_get_true_extent_x, and MPI_Type_size_x.
This commit adds only the C bindings. Fortran bindins will be added in
another commit. For now the MPI_Count type is define to have the same size
as MPI_Offset. The type is required to be at least as large as MPI_Offset
and MPI_Aint. The type was initially intended to be a ssize_t (if it was
the same size as a long long) but there were issues compiling romio with
that definition (despite the inclusion of stddef.h).
I updated the datatype engine to use size_t instead of uint32_t to support
large datatypes. This will require some review to make sure that 1) the
changes are beneficial, 2) nothing was broken by the change (I doubt
anything was), and 3) there are no performance regressions due to this
change.
Increase the maximum number of predifined datatypes to support MPI_Count
Put common get_elements code to ompi/datatype/ompi_datatype_get_elements.c
Update MPI_Get_count to reflect changes in MPI-3 (return MPI_UNDEFINED when the count is too large for an int)

This patch reshape the way we deal with topologies completely. Where
our topologies were mainly storage components (they were not capable
of creating the new communicator), the new version is built around a
[possibly] common representation (in mca/topo/topo.h), but the functions
to attach and retrieve the topological information are specific to each
component. As a result the ompi_create_cart and ompi_create_graph functions
become useless and have been removed.
In addition to adding the internal infrastructure to manage the topology
information, it updates the MPI interface, and the debuggers support and
provides all Fortran interfaces.

* New "op" MPI layer framework
* Addition of the MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL proposed function (for MPI-2.2)
= Op framework =
Add new "op" framework in the ompi layer. This framework replaces the
hard-coded MPI_Op back-end functions for (MPI_Op, MPI_Datatype) tuples
for pre-defined MPI_Ops, allowing components and modules to provide
the back-end functions. The intent is that components can be written
to take advantage of hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, specialized CPU
instructions, etc.). Similar to other frameworks, components are
intended to be able to discover at run-time if they can be used, and
if so, elect themselves to be selected (or disqualify themselves from
selection if they cannot run). If specialized hardware is not
available, there is a default set of functions that will automatically
be used.
This framework is ''not'' used for user-defined MPI_Ops.
The new op framework is similar to the existing coll framework, in
that the final set of function pointers that are used on any given
intrinsic MPI_Op can be a mixed bag of function pointers, potentially
coming from multiple different op modules. This allows for hardware
that only supports some of the operations, not all of them (e.g., a
GPU that only supports single-precision operations).
All the hard-coded back-end MPI_Op functions for (MPI_Op,
MPI_Datatype) tuples still exist, but unlike coll, they're in the
framework base (vs. being in a separate "basic" component) and are
automatically used if no component is found at runtime that provides a
module with the necessary function pointers.
There is an "example" op component that will hopefully be useful to
those writing meaningful op components. It is currently
.ompi_ignore'd so that it doesn't impinge on other developers (it's
somewhat chatty in terms of opal_output() so that you can tell when
its functions have been invoked). See the README file in the example
op component directory. Developers of new op components are
encouraged to look at the following wiki pages:

= MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL =
Part of the MPI-2.2 proposal listed here:
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/24
is to add a new function named MPI_REDUCE_LOCAL. It is very easy to
implement, so I added it (also because it makes testing the op
framework pretty easy -- you can do it in serial rather than via
parallel reductions). There's even a man page!
