This PR renames the common library for OFI libfabric from
libfabric to ofi. There are a number of reasons this
is good to do:
1) its shorter and replaces 9 characters with three for
function names for what may eventually be a fairly extensive interface
2) OFI is the term used for MTL and RML components that use
the OFI libfabric interface
3) A planned OSC component will also use the OFI term.
4) Other HPC libraries that can use OFI libfabric tend to use
the term "ofi" internally and also in their configure options
relevant to OFI libfabric (i.e. MPICH/CH4, Intel MPI, Sandia SHMEM)
There seem to be comments in places in the Open MPI source
code that indicate that this common library will be going away.
Far from it as we will want to be able to share things like
AV objects between OMPI and possibly OSHMEM components that
use the OFI libfabric interface.
This PR also adds a synonym to the --with-libfabric(-libdir)
configury options: --with-ofi and with-ofi-libdir.

Multiple conduits can exist at the same time, and can even point to the same base transport. Each conduit can have its own characteristics (e.g., flow control) based on the info keys provided to the "open_conduit" call. For ease during the transition period, the "legacy" RML interfaces remain as wrappers over the new conduit-based APIs using a default conduit opened during orte_init - this default conduit is tied to the OOB framework so that current behaviors are preserved. Once the transition has been completed, a one-time cleanup will be done to update all RML calls to the new APIs and the "legacy" interfaces will be deleted.
While we are at it: Remove oob/usock component to eliminate the TMPDIR length problem - get all working, including oob_stress
