config/ directory. We split them apart a while ago in the hopes that
it would simplify things, but it didn't really (e.g., because there
were still some ompi/opal .m4 files in the top-level config/
directory, resulting in developer confusion where any given m4 macro
was defined).
So this commit consolidates them back into the top-level directory for
simplicity.
There's still (at least) two changes that would be nice to make:
1. Split any generated .m4 file (e.g., autogen-generated .m4 files)
into a separate directory somewhere so that a top-level -Iconfig/
will only get our explicitly defined macros, not the autogen stuff
(e.g., with libevent2019 needing to get the visibility macro, but
NOT all the autogen-generated inclusion of component configure.m4
files).
1. Change configure to be of the form:
{{{
# ...a small amount of preamble/setup...
OPAL_SETUP
m4_ifdef([project_orte], [ORTE_SETUP])
m4_ifdef([project_ompi], [OMPI_SETUP])
# ...a small amount of finishing stuff...
}}}
I doubt we'll ever get anything as clean as that, but that would be
the goal to shoot for.

Continue the reorganization of the configure system. Move files from the main config directory to their appropriate level-specific config directories. Modify the configure system to correctly handle compiler detection, test, and setup so that all things pertaining to opal and orte are done at the lower level, with the ompi configure system only looking at mpi-specific options.
Ensure the wrapper compilers for orte and ompi only get built when appropriate. Add support for c++ to the orte wrapper compilers, both script and non-script versions.

Re-enable "./autogen.sh -no-ompi" again. If you -no-ompi, the entire OMPI
configury is skipped and the entire ompi/ subtree is not built. There's
some simple m4-isms that prune out the relevant parts.
I added ompi/config/, orte/config/, and opal/config/ directories. I moved a
bunch of m4 files from the top-level config/ dir into ompi/config/, and a few
into orte/config/.
Note that all 3 <project>/config directories have a config_files.m4 file. This
file contains the AC_CONFIG_FILES list for that project. The AC_CONFIG_FILES
call cannot be in an AC_DEFUN macro and conditionally called -- if it is
included at all, Autoconf will process it. Hence, these config_files.m4 files
don't AC_DEFUN -- they just have AC_CONFIG_FILES. m4_ifdef() is used to
conditionally include the files or not.
I moved a bunch of obvious OMPI-only m4 files from config/ to ompi/config/,
but I'm sure that there's more that could go. A ticket will be filed with
thoughts on future work in this area.

C++ compiler in configure. If we have a C++ compiler, then the MPI
C++ bindings are built by default. If we don't have a C++ compiler,
then the MPI C++ bindings are not built by default.
--enable-mpi-cxx will now force an error if there is no C++ compiler
available. --disable-mpi-cxx (or the lack of a C++ compiler) will now
disable many of the C++ compiler checks in configure.
Note that there are a few items to clean up regarding the difference
between C's _Bool type and C++'s bool type. Right now, we assume that
they are the same. But they aren't, and they shouldn't be treated as
such. This cleanup will be forced in MPI-2.2 with the introduction of
the MPI_C_BOOL MPI datatype.
