osc/rdma uses counters to determine if all messages have been received
before exiting synchronization calls. The problem is that the active
target counter is always increasing (never zeroed). If over 2^31-1
messages are sent this causes the counter to overflow (in itself this
isn't an error). This causes test/wait to return before the communication
is complete. There is an additional error in the use of the fragment
flush function. If PSCW synchronization is in use this function CAN NOT
be called unless a post message has arrived.

This commit fixes both issues. Tested against MTT and issue reproducer.
Closes#224.
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.

This commit adds a check to see if the target is in an access epoch. If
not we return OMPI_ERR_RMA_SYNC. This fixes test_start3 in the onesided
test suite. The cost of this extra check is 1 byte/peer for the boolean
flag indicating that the peer is in an access epoch.
I also fixed a problem where mupliple unexpected post messages are not
correctly handled.

This commit was SVN r32160.
The post and start window calls are supposed to be matching. The code
did not check to see that an incoming post matched with the start call.
This commit fixes the bug by placing the post on a pending list that
will be checked by the next call to start.

The last fix prevented a hang but had some cases where the results were
wrong. Fixed. Tested with armci, openmpi/ibm, openmpi/onesided.

The code to handle completion messages did not correctly increment the
number of expected messages. This could cause wait to return before all
incoming messages are complete.
I also added a check to ensure that start returns an error if we are in
a passive access epoch.

- Return an error if the caller specified both MPI_MODE_NOPRECEDE and
MPI_MODE_NOSUCCEED to MPI_Win_fence.
- Return an error if the caller attempts to enter an active target
epoch while already in a passive target epoch.
- End an active target epoch if MPI_Win_fence is called with
MPI_MODE_NOSUCCEED.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 4382 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/4382
need to enable the access epoch in MPI_Win_fence.
I missed this change when I fixed the semantics of MPI_Win_create. With
this commit our one-sided MTT runs are now running clean.

Dave Goodell correctly pointed out that it is unusual to return MPI
error classes from internal ompi functions. Correct this in the RMA
case by adding an internal error code to match MPI_ERR_RMA_SYNC.
This does change OMPI_ERR_MAX. I don't think this will cause any
problems with ABI.

This commit resolves a number of crashed discovered my the onesided
tests in MTT. The functions in question were operating on the assumption
the user was calling RMA functions correctly.
