Revamp the ORTE global data structures to reduce memory footprint and add new features. Add ability to control/set cpu frequency, though this can only be done if the sys admin has setup the system to support it (or you run as root).

This commit is a slightly better workaround to prevent mesages of
the form:
[unset]:_pmi_alps_get_apid:alps_app_lli_put_request failed
[unset]:_pmi_alps_get_appLayout:pmi_alps_get_apid returned with error: Bad file descriptor
It works by completely disabling PMI in the application process when using
mpirun. This should not be an issue for any apps.

The HNP can't know the precise reason, of course - all it knows is that the daemon failed. So output a generic error message that provides guidance on probable causes.

Prior to r29058, this same logic was in place (i.e., ensure that the
extra fd to /dev/null is closed). It looks like it was accidentally
removed in the ORTE conversion to the state machine in r29058.
This ''might'' have something to do with many hangs that we're seeing
in Cisco MTT with jobs that exhibit failure (e.g., call MPI_ABORT)...?

If we are aborting, then set the flags so the HNP directly sends an exit command to each daemon. Make it the halt_vm command so the remote daemon doesn't try to relay it, but instead just exits without waiting for its routed children to exit first.

The problem arises when a hostfile is used, and the user provides host names without specifying the slots= paramater. In these cases, we assign slots=1, but automatically allow oversubscription since that number isn't confirmed. We then provide a separate parameter by which the user can direct that we assign the number of slots based on the sensed hardware - e.g., by telling us to set the #slots equal to the #cores on each node. However, this has been set to "off" by default.
In order to make this a little less complex for the user, set the default such that we automatically set #slots equal to #cores (or #hwt's if use_hwthreads_as_cpus has been set) only for those cases where the user provides names in a hostfile but does not provide slot information.
Also cleanup some a couple of issues in the mapping/binding system:
* ensure we only override the binding directive if we are oversubscribed *and* overload is not allowed
* ensure that the MPI procs don't attempt to bind themselves if they are launched by an orted as any binding directive (no matter what it was) would have been serviced by the orted on launch
* minor cleanup to the warning message when oversubscribed and binding was requested

pkg{data,lib,includedir}, use our own ompi{data,lib,includedir}, which is
always set to {datadir,libdir,includedir}/openmpi. This will keep us from
having help files in prefix/share/open-rte when building without Open MPI,
but in prefix/share/openmpi when building with Open MPI.

The data for each remote daemon is added later in the daemon callback function. Only the HNP retains info in the hash table.
If it is desirable to have each daemon retain its own coprocessor info, then this must be done in orte/mca/ess/base/ess_base_std_orted.c.

This change contains a non-mandatory modification
of the MPI-RTE interface. Anyone wishing to support
coprocessors such as the Xeon Phi may wish to add
the required definition and underlying support
****************************************************************
Add locality support for coprocessors such as the Intel Xeon Phi.
Detecting that we are on a coprocessor inside of a host node isn't straightforward. There are no good "hooks" provided for programmatically detecting that "we are on a coprocessor running its own OS", and the ORTE daemon just thinks it is on another node. However, in order to properly use the Phi's public interface for MPI transport, it is necessary that the daemon detect that it is colocated with procs on the host.
So we have to split the locality to separately record "on the same host" vs "on the same board". We already have the board-level locality flag, but not quite enough flexibility to handle this use-case. Thus, do the following:
1. add OPAL_PROC_ON_HOST flag to indicate we share a host, but not necessarily the same board
2. modify OPAL_PROC_ON_NODE to indicate we share both a host AND the same board. Note that we have to modify the OPAL_PROC_ON_LOCAL_NODE macro to explicitly check both conditions
3. add support in opal/mca/hwloc/base/hwloc_base_util.c for the host to check for coprocessors, and for daemons to check to see if they are on a coprocessor. The former is done via hwloc, but support for the latter is not yet provided by hwloc. So the code for detecting we are on a coprocessor currently is Xeon Phi specific - hopefully, we will find more generic methods in the future.
4. modify the orted and the hnp startup so they check for coprocessors and to see if they are on a coprocessor, and have the orteds pass that info back in their callback message. Automatically detect that coprocessors have been found and identify which coprocessors are on which hosts. Note that this algo isn't scalable at the moment - this will hopefully be improved over time.
5. modify the ompi proc locality detection function to look for coprocessor host info IF the OMPI_RTE_HOST_ID database key has been defined. RTE's that choose not to provide this support do not have to do anything - the associated code will simply be ignored.
6. include some cleanup of the hwloc open/close code so it conforms to how we did things in other frameworks (e.g., having a single "frame" file instead of open/close). Also, fix the locality flags - e.g., being on the same node means you must also be on the same cluster/cu, so ensure those flags are also set.

So we now allow singletons to start on their own, only spawning an HNP when initiating an operation that actually requires it.
