Also, introduce a new mca parameter that allows to give feedback

this commit revamps the internal operations of the sharedfp components.
Specifically, it is focused around removing the second file_open
operation for shared file pointers. This makes the code more efficient.
Because of that, there is no necessity anymore for the sharedfp_lazy_open
mca parameter.

ompio has the unique problem, that mca parameters set in the io/ompio component
have to be accessible from other frameworks as well. This is mostly done to avoid
a replication in the parameter names and to reduce the number of mca parameters that
and end-user has to worry about.
This commit introduces a generic function to retrieve ompio mca parameters, the function pointer
is stored on the file handle. It replaces two functions that used the same concept already for
one parameter each.

ompio has historically changed the WRONLY flag provided by the applicaiton
to RDWR to allow for the data sieving optimization within the two-phase I/O
fcoll component. This change did not have a performance impact
on regular UNIX file systems, but seems to hurt performance on NFS (and maybe Lustre?)
So provide an option that allows to keep the WRONLY option, and raise an error
if tha fcoll/two-phase would actually like to use the data sieving.

This commit looks large, but its really mostly a cleanup step.
1. introduce proper error handling for the return values of fcntl and the fbtl_posix_lock function
2. rename a parameter to more accurately reflect what it does
3. introduce an mca parameter in the fs/ufs component that allows to control
what the level of locking the user would like to enforce
4. move the initialization of the fs_block_size parameter from fs/ufs into the
common/ompio component. An fs component might be allowed to overwrite this
value, but none of the actual fs components do that.

the new grouping option simple+ performs all calculations used
for the aggregator selection as if the default file view would be used,
thus avoiding communication in file_set_view all together. This mode
is useful for applications that do not set a file view, but use
explicit offset operations on the default file view.

The expected sequence of events for processing info during object creation
is that if there's an incoming info arg, it is opal_info_dup()ed into the obj
at obj->s_info first. Then interested components register callbacks for
keys they want to know about using opal_infosubscribe_infosubscribe().
Inside info_subscribe_subscribe() the specified callback() is called with
whatever matching k/v is in the object's info, or with the default. The
return string from the callback goes into the new k/v stored in info, and
the input k/v is saved as __IN_<key>/<val>. It's saved the same way
whether the input came from info or whether it was a default. A null return
from the callback indicates an ignored key/val, and no k/v is stored for
it, but an __IN_<key>/<val> is still kept so we still have access to the
original.
At MPI_*_set_info() time, opal_infosubscribe_change_info() is used. That
function calls the registered callbacks for each item in the provided info.
If the callback returns non-null, the info is updated with that k/v, or if
the callback returns null, that key is deleted from info. An __IN_<key>/<val>
is saved either way, and overwrites any previously saved value.
When MPI_*_get_info() is called, opal_info_dup_mpistandard() is used, which
allows relatively easy changes in interpretation of the standard, by looking
at both the <key>/<val> and __IN_<key>/<val> in info. Right now it does
1. includes system extras, eg k/v defaults not expliclty set by the user
2. omits ignored keys
3. shows input values, not callback modifications, eg not the internal values
Currently the callbacks are doing things like
return some_condition ? "true" : "false"
that is, returning static strings that are not to be freed. If the return
strings start becoming more dynamic in the future I don't see how unallocated
strings could support that, so I'd propose a change for the future that
the callback()s registered with info_subscribe_subscribe() do a strdup on
their return, and we change the callers of callback() to free the strings
it returns (there are only two callers).
Rough outline of the smaller changes spread over the less central files:
comm.c
initialize comm->super.s_info to NULL
copy into comm->super.s_info in comm creation calls that provide info
OBJ_RELEASE comm->super.s_info at free time
comm_init.c
initialize comm->super.s_info to NULL
file.c
copy into file->super.s_info if file creation provides info
OBJ_RELEASE file->super.s_info at free time
win.c
copy into win->super.s_info if win creation provides info
OBJ_RELEASE win->super.s_info at free time
comm_get_info.c
file_get_info.c
win_get_info.c
change_info() if there's no info attached (shouldn't happen if callbacks
are registered)
copy the info for the user
The other category of change is generally addressing compiler warnings where
ompi_info_t and opal_info_t were being used a little too interchangably. An
ompi_info_t* contains an opal_info_t*, at &(ompi_info->super)
Also this commit updates the copyrights.

ompi_communicator_t, ompi_win_t, ompi_file_t all have a super class of type opal_infosubscriber_t instead of a base/super type of opal_object_t (in previous code comm used c_base, but file used super). It may be a bit bold to say that being a subscriber of MPI_Info is the foundational piece that ties these three things together, but if you object, then I would prefer to turn infosubscriber into a more general name that encompasses other common features rather than create a different super class. The key here is that we want to be able to pass comm, win and file objects as if they were opal_infosubscriber_t, so that one routine can heandle all 3 types of objects being passed to it.
MPI_INFO_NULL is still an ompi_predefined_info_t type since an MPI_Info is part of ompi but the internal details of the underlying information concept is part of opal.
An ompi_info_t type still exists for exposure to the user, but it is simply a wrapper for the opal object.
Routines such as ompi_info_dup, etc have all been moved to opal_info_dup and related to the opal directory.
Fortran to C translation tables are only used for MPI_Info that is exposed to the application and are therefore part of the ompi_info_t and not the opal_info_t
The data structure changes are primarily in the following files:
communicator/communicator.h
ompi/info/info.h
ompi/win/win.h
ompi/file/file.h
The following new files were created:
opal/util/info.h
opal/util/info.c
opal/util/info_subscriber.h
opal/util/info_subscriber.c
This infosubscriber concept is that communicators, files and windows can have subscribers that subscribe to any changes in the info associated with the comm/file/window. When xxx_set_info is called, the new info is presented to each subscriber who can modify the info in any way they want. The new value is presented to the next subscriber and so on until all subscribers have had a chance to modify the value. Therefore, the order of subscribers can make a difference but we hope that there is generally only one subscriber that cares or modifies any given key/value pair. The final info is then stored and returned by a call to xxx_get_info.
The new model can be seen in the following files:
ompi/mpi/c/comm_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/comm_set_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/file_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/file_set_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/win_get_info.c
ompi/mpi/c/win_set_info.c
The current subscribers where changed as follows:
mca/io/ompio/io_ompio_file_open.c
mca/io/ompio/io_ompio_module.c
mca/osc/rmda/osc_rdma_component.c (This one actually subscribes to "no_locks")
mca/osc/sm/osc_sm_component.c (This one actually subscribes to "blocking_fence" and "alloc_shared_contig")

- move the sort_iovec operations to fcoll/base
- move set_view_internal to common/ompio
- move set_file_default to common/ompio
- remove io_ompio_sort, not used anymore.
the coll_array functions are truly only used by the fcoll modules, so move
them to fcoll/base. There is currently one exception to that rule (number of aggreagtors
logic), but that function will be moved in a long term also to fcoll/base.
- make the internal structure follow the Open MPI naming convention
- provide a single flag/macro which controls the compilation/utilization of this
feature, to avoid that somebody using this has to modify every single
fcoll component. A configure option could be added later if desired.
soon:
- add a new abstraction layer to be used internally for some operations
- add a new mca parameter to control lazy intialization of shared file
pointer structures

# This is triggered based on a mca-paramater and can be used with all collective modules.
# Individual queues maintained for read and write.
# The additional communication to combine data is done at file-close so that the
actual timing of collective-operations will not get affected.
# The queues are initialized in file-open
