If we need to use a convertor, go back to stashing that convertor in the
frag and populating segments "on the fly" (in
ompi_btl_usnic_module_progress_sends). Previously we would pack into a
chain of chunk segments at prepare_src time, unnecessarily consuming
additional memory.

This new routine can be called in exceptional situations, either
conditionally in BTL code or from a debugger, to help with debugging in
cases where MSGDEBUG1/2 or stats logging are impractical but more detail
is needed.

This BTL accesses the Cisco usNIC Linux device via the Linux verbs
API via Unreliable Datagram queue pairs. A few noteworthy points:
* This BTL does most of its own fragmentation; it tells the PML that
it has a very high max_send_size (much higher than the network
MTU).
* Since UD fragments are, by definition, unreliable, the usnic BTL
handles all of its own reliability via a sliding window approach
using the opal_hotel construct and many tricks stolen from the
corpus of knowledge surrounding efficient TCP.
* There is a fun PML latency-metric based optimization for NUMA
awareness of short messages.
* Note that this is ''not'' a generic UD verbs BTL; it is specific to
the Cisco usNIC device.
