A few changes were required to support this move:
1. the PMI component used to identify rte-related data (e.g., host name, bind level) and package them as a unit to reduce the number of PMI keys. This code was moved up to the ORTE layer as the OPAL layer has no understanding of these concepts. In addition, the component locally stored data based on process jobid/vpid - this could no longer be supported (see below for the solution).
2. the hash component was updated to use the new opal_identifier_t instead of orte_process_name_t as its index for storing data in the hash tables. Previously, we did a hash on the vpid and stored the data in a 32-bit hash table. In the revised system, we don't see a separate "vpid" field - we only have a 64-bit opaque value. The orte_process_name_t hash turned out to do nothing useful, so we now store the data in a 64-bit hash table. Preliminary tests didn't show any identifiable change in behavior or performance, but we'll have to see if a move back to the 32-bit table is required at some later time.
3. the db framework was a "select one" system. However, since the PMI component could no longer use its internal storage system, the framework has now been changed to a "select many" mode of operation. This allows the hash component to handle all internal storage, while the PMI component only handles pushing/pulling things from the PMI system. This was something we had planned for some time - when fetching data, we first check internal storage to see if we already have it, and then automatically go to the global system to look for it if we don't. Accordingly, the framework was provided with a custom query function used during "select" that lets you seperately specify the "store" and "fetch" ordering.
4. the ORTE grpcomm and ess/pmi components, and the nidmap code, were updated to work with the new db framework and to specify internal/global storage options.
No changes were made to the MPI layer, except for modifying the ORTE component of the OMPI/rte framework to support the new db framework.

flags, and mca flags are kept seperate until the very end. The main configure
wrapper flags should now be modified by using the OPAL_WRAPPER_FLAGS_ADD
macro. MCA components should either let <framework>_<component>_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}
be copied over OR set <framework>_<component>_WRAPPER_EXTRA_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}.
The situations in which WRAPPER CPPFLAGS can be set by MCA components was
made very small to match the one use case where it makes sense.

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.
