1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

Long unexpected messages were not generating PUT_START events
because the MD for long unexpected messages was configured to
ignore start events. When a long unexpected message arrived, it
traversed the match list, and ended up in the long unexpected MD.
As the long message is being consumed, the code called PtlMDUpdate()
to look for the message, but there was no event that indicated
that it had arrived. So, the update succeeded. Once the long
unexpected message was consumed, the PUT_END event showed up in the
event queue -- except the code wasn't looking for it anymore.
The PUT_START events exist specifically to handle ordering between
short and long unexpected messages, so PUT_START events can't be
ignored on long unexpected messages.
Modified the code to generate PUT_START events for both long and
short unexpected messages and handle matching up START and END
events appropriately.
