1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

the ompi_convertor_need_buffers function to only return 0 if the convertor
is homogeneous (which it never does on the trunk, but does to on v1.2, but
that's a different issue). Only enable the heterogeneous rdma code for
a btl if it supports it (via a flag), as some btls need some work for this
to work properly. Currently only TCP and OpenIB extensively tested

The following SVN revisions from the original message are invalid or
inconsistent and therefore were not cross-referenced:

- moved hton64 and ntoh64 from the bunch of places it had been copied
into one header file
- properly set and use the btl_tcp's nbo option to put things in
network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have the same
endianness
- Put the OB1 PML's headers (with a couple exceptions I need to discuss
with Tim) in network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have
the same endianness
- since it was needed for the TCP BTL, move the orte_process_name_t
HTON and NTOH macros from the TCP OOB to ns_types.h
