MPI_INIT and start of MPI_FINALIZE.
* Clean up MPI Extensions build system to acknowledge that OMPI's the only
project with extensions, as well as remove some build artifacts necessary
for more general components.

Major Changes:
--------------
* Added C/R-enabled Debugging support.
Enabled with the --enable-crdebug flag. See the following website for more information:
http://osl.iu.edu/research/ft/crdebug/
* Added Stable Storage (SStore) framework for checkpoint storage
* 'central' component does a direct to central storage save
* 'stage' component stages checkpoints to central storage while the application continues execution.
* 'stage' supports offline compression of checkpoints before moving (sstore_stage_compress)
* 'stage' supports local caching of checkpoints to improve automatic recovery (sstore_stage_caching)
* Added Compression (compress) framework to support
* Add two new ErrMgr recovery policies
* {{{crmig}}} C/R Process Migration
* {{{autor}}} C/R Automatic Recovery
* Added the {{{ompi-migrate}}} command line tool to support the {{{crmig}}} ErrMgr component
* Added CR MPI Ext functions (enable them with {{{--enable-mpi-ext=cr}}} configure option)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Checkpoint}}} (Fixes trac:2342)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Restart}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Migrate}}} (may need some more work for mapping rules)
* {{{OMPI_CR_INC_register_callback}}} (Fixes trac:2192)
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_start}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_checkpoint}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_Quiesce_end}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_checkpoint_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_restart_callback}}}
* {{{OMPI_CR_self_register_continue_callback}}}
* The ErrMgr predicted_fault() interface has been changed to take an opal_list_t of ErrMgr defined types. This will allow us to better support a wider range of fault prediction services in the future.
* Add a progress meter to:
* FileM rsh (filem_rsh_process_meter)
* SnapC full (snapc_full_progress_meter)
* SStore stage (sstore_stage_progress_meter)
* Added 2 new command line options to ompi-restart
* --showme : Display the full command line that would have been exec'ed.
* --mpirun_opts : Command line options to pass directly to mpirun. (Fixes trac:2413)
* Deprecated some MCA params:
* crs_base_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_stage_local_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_dir
* snapc_base_global_shared deprecated, use sstore_stage_global_is_shared
* snapc_base_store_in_place deprecated, replaced with different components of SStore
* snapc_base_global_snapshot_ref deprecated, use sstore_base_global_snapshot_ref
* snapc_base_establish_global_snapshot_dir deprecated, never well supported
* snapc_full_skip_filem deprecated, use sstore_stage_skip_filem
Minor Changes:
--------------
* Fixes trac:1924 : {{{ompi-restart}}} now recognizes path prefixed checkpoint handles and does the right thing.
* Fixes trac:2097 : {{{ompi-info}}} should now report all available CRS components
* Fixes trac:2161 : Manual checkpoint movement. A user can 'mv' a checkpoint directory from the original location to another and still restart from it.
* Fixes trac:2208 : Honor various TMPDIR varaibles instead of forcing {{{/tmp}}}
* Move {{{ompi_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to {{{orte_cr_continue_like_restart}}} to be more flexible in where this should be set.
* opal_crs_base_metadata_write* functions have been moved to SStore to support a wider range of metadata handling functionality.
* Cleanup the CRS framework and components to work with the SStore framework.
* Cleanup the SnapC framework and components to work with the SStore framework (cleans up these code paths considerably).
* Add 'quiesce' hook to CRCP for a future enhancement.
* We now require a BLCR version that supports {{{cr_request_file()}}} or {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}} in order to make the code more maintainable. Note that {{{cr_request_file}}} has been deprecated since 0.7.0, so we prefer to use {{{cr_request_checkpoint()}}}.
* Add optional application level INC callbacks (registered through the CR MPI Ext interface).
* Increase the {{{opal_cr_thread_sleep_wait}}} parameter to 1000 microseconds to make the C/R thread less aggressive.
* {{{opal-restart}}} now looks for cache directories before falling back on stable storage when asked.
* {{{opal-restart}}} also support local decompression before restarting
* {{{orte-checkpoint}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* {{{orte-restart}}} now uses the SStore framework to work with the metadata
* Remove the {{{orte-restart}}} preload option. This was removed since the user only needs to select the 'stage' component in order to support this functionality.
* Since the '-am' parameter is saved in the metadata, {{{ompi-restart}}} no longer hard codes {{{-am ft-enable-cr}}}.
* Fix {{{hnp}}} ErrMgr so that if a previous component in the stack has 'fixed' the problem, then it should be skipped.
* Make sure to decrement the number of 'num_local_procs' in the orted when one goes away.
* odls now checks the SStore framework to see if it needs to load any checkpoint files before launching (to support 'stage'). This separates the SStore logic from the --preload-[binary|files] options.
* Add unique IDs to the named pipes established between the orted and the app in SnapC. This is to better support migration and automatic recovery activities.
* Improve the checks for 'already checkpointing' error path.
* A a recovery output timer, to show how long it takes to restart a job
* Do a better job of cleaning up the old session directory on restart.
* Add a local module to the autor and crmig ErrMgr components. These small modules prevent the 'orted' component from attempting a local recovery (Which does not work for MPI apps at the moment)
* Add a fix for bounding the checkpointable region between MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.

--enable-mpi-ext configure switch in the top-level README file).
See Josh's excellent wiki page about OMPI extensions:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/MPIExtensions
This extension exposes a new API to MPI applications:
{{{
int OMPI_Affinity_str(char ompi_bound[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char current_binding[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX],
char exists[OMPI_AFFINITY_STRING_MAX]);
}}}
It returns 3 things. Each are a prettyprint string describing sets of
processors in terms of sockets and cores:
1. What Open MPI bound this process to. If Open MPI didn't bind this
process, the prettyprint string says so.
1. What this process is currently bound to. If the process is
unbound, the prettyprint string says so. This string is a
separate OUT parameter to detect the case where some other entity
bound the process (potentially after Open MPI bound it).
1. What processors are availabile in the system, mainly for reference.
