This commit does two things. It removes checks for C99 required
headers (stdlib.h, string.h, signal.h, etc). Additionally it removes
definitions for required C99 types (intptr_t, int64_t, int32_t, etc).

In order to have an effect, ibv_fork_init should be called in the
beginning of the verbs initialization flow - before the calls to the
ibv_create_qp and ibv_create_cq verbs.
These functions are called from the oob/ud code and by the time the
other verbs components (btl openib, pml yalla, ...) call ibv_fork_init,
it's too late. This commit forces the call to ibv_fork_init (if it's
requested) right at the beginning of all the components that are using
verbs.
(ibv_fork_init() can be safely called multiple times)
This commit also removes the btl_openib_want_fork_support mca parameter
and adds a new mca parameter instead - opal_verbs_want_fork_support.
Through this new parameter, fork support may be requested for ALL
components.
The default value for this parameter is set to 1.
Before this commit the btl_openib_want_fork_support parameter didn't
provide fork support for the openib btl if its value was set to 1.
(because when openib called ibv_fork_init, it was already after the
calls to ibv_create_* in oob/ud and thereofre it failed).
Use experimental verbs to allocate memory at fixed base
virtual address.
verbs will disqualify itself if shared_mr is disabled
or not supported and it is impossible to allocate memory
starting at fixed base virtual address.
verbs contig pages allocator did not guarantee fixed va, now it does.

WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

check for possibility of heap2heap copy was incorrect
in case when shared heaps have different virtual
addresses on same host.
It seems that ibv_exp_reg_mr() on CIB cards may return
different VAs for heap on same node. On CX3 addresses are
the same.
