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

The 2 sided communication support is added for non-tagmatching provider
to take advantage of this BTL and PML OB1. The current state is
"functional" and not optimized for performance.
Two sided support is disabled by default and can be turned on by mca
parameter: "mca_btl_ofi_mode".

This commit changed the way btl/ofi call progress. Before, we force
progression with every rdma/atomic call. This gives performance boost in
some case and slow down on others. Now we only force progression after
some number of rdma calls which result in better performance overall.
Also added new MCA parameter 'mca_btl_ofi_progress_threshold' to set
the threshold number. The new default is 64.
Also:
Added FI_DELIVERY_COMPLETE to tx_rtx flags to ensure that the completion
is generated after the message has been received on the remote side.

This commit add support for scalable endpoint to enhance multithreaded
application performance. The BTL will detect the support from ofi
provider and will fallback to normal usage of scalable endpoint is not
supported.
NEW MCA parameters:
- mca_btl_ofi_disable_sep: force the btl to not use scalable endpoint.
- mca_btl_ofi_num_contexts_per_module: number of communication context
to create (should be the same as number of thread).

This commit added new transport layer to be used with osc rdma module.
This BTL provides put, get, atomic and fetch atomic operations. It can
be used with multiple hardware vendors as long as they have their
provider under Libfabric and have the right capabilities.
