This commit updates the entire codebase to use specific opal types for
all atomic variables. This is a change from the prior atomic support
which required the use of the volatile keyword. This is the first step
towards implementing support for C11 atomics as that interface
requires the use of types declared with the _Atomic keyword.

This commit adds a new class: opal_fifo.h. The new class has atomic, non-atomic,
and opal_using_threads() conditoned routines. It should be used when first-in
first-out is required and should perform much better than using locks and an
opal_list_t. Like with opal_lifo_t there are two versions of the atomic
implementation: 128-bit compare-and-swap, and spin-locked. More implementations
can be added later (LL/SC comes to mind).
This commit also adds a unit test for the opal_fifo_t class. This test verifies
the fifo implementation when using multiple threads.
