In core library portions of the configury (e.g., top-level
configure.ac itself), we were calling AC_CHECK_LIB and
OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB to check for various libraries.
'''SIDENOTE:''' It turns out that modern Autoconf has AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
which does just about exactly what OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB does. So this
commit effectively replaces OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB with AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
However, we never bothered to add these found libraries to the wrapper
compiler list of libraries used for static linking (doh!). We've been
getting lucky for quite a while that components were adding the same
libraries to their wrapper compiler LIBS list.
This is problematic, however, if we don't build some of these
components. For example, Paul Hargrove noticed that if he configured
with --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-io-romio, ROMIO was no
longer adding some libraries to the wrapper LIBS list -- libraries
that just happened to also be needed by core OPAL/ORTE/OMPI layers.
The solution is not to use AC_CHECK_LIB or OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB, but
use a pair of new macros:
* OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_CORE: a wrapper around AC_SEARCH_LIBS. If we add
something to $LIBS, then also add it to the wrapper list of static
libraries. This is the main piece of functionality that was
wrong/missing.
* OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_COMPONENT: similar to OPAL_SEARCH_LIBS_CORE, but
instead of directly adding it to the wrapper list of static
libaries, add it to <framework>_<component>_LIBS (which eventually
gets slurped up into the wrapper list of static libraries. See the
lengthy comment in config/opal_setup_wrappers.m4 near the beginning
of OPAL_SETUP_WRAPPER_INIT() for a more detailed explanation).
Most components did this correctly already, but one or two weren't
right, so I implemented this second macro quite similar to the
first and put it everywhere we already used AC_SEARCH_LIBS or
OPAL_CHECK_FUNC_LIB.
This needs to soak for a day or two on the trunk before moving to the
v1.8 branch.

also replase the OMPI_CAST_RTE_NAME macro with
an inline function if OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG, so we can
get warnings from the compiler if ampersand is missing.

This fixes some duplicate symbols, once the .o files for the modules
were restored into the library (some compilers need the .o files, some
don't (!)).
Also, remove trailing whitespace. :-)

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

Let's not make the move to OPAL any harder than it has to be; this
commit can wait until after the BTL move.

Previously, we were only checking connectivity upon first ''send'' to
a peer. But this ignores the case where the first communication to a
peer is actually an ACK -- i.e., we successfully received something
from the peer and we need to send an ACK back. So we need to verify
that the ACK will actually get there.
Specifically, certain asymmetric routing cases can lead to a hang if
we don't check the connectivity in both directions. E.g., if the
sender is able to get traffic to the receiver, but the receiver is
unable to get traffic back to the sender because it made a different
routing decision than the sender.
In this case, the connectivity checker from the sender could succeed
(because the connectivity checker will ACK along the same path in
which the ping was received), but sending a BTL ACK could fail
(because the BTL ACK will be sent back along the path chosen by the
graph algorithm, which, in an erroneous asymmetric routing scenario,
may be different/wrong).
Hence, we want to trigger the connectivity checker at the first
communication from A->B, which may either be a BTL send or an ACK.
