this component can only be used in very specific scenarios. However, since some file systems do not support file locking and processes might be distributed over multiple nodes (hence the sm sharedfp component is also inelligible), the component might be selected in some scenarios, even if an application does not intend to use shared file pointers.
Since the fseek_shared function is involved as part of the File_set_view operation, only complain about the inability to perform the seek_shared operation if actual shared file pointer operations are being used. This avoid spurious error values being returned.

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.

As we changed the ABI (forcing a major release), we can limit
the size of the predefined communicators by moving the collective
structure outside the communicator. This might have a minimal,
but unnoticeable, impact on performance. This approach has been
discussed during the January 2017 devel meeting.

- extend the framework API
- remove the dummy component, not require anymore
- add four components to perform the actual job.
