For the non thread-grouping paths, only the first (0th) OFI context
should be used for communication. Otherwise this would access a non existant
array item and cause segfault.
While at it, clarifiy some content regarding SEPs in README (Credit to Matias Cabral
for README edits).

Moving to a model where we have users actively _enable_ SEP feature for use
rather than opening SEP by default if provider supports it. This allows us to
not regress (either functionally or for performance reasons) any apps that were
working correctly on regular endpoints.
Also, providing MCA to specify number of OFI contexts to create and default
this value to 1 (Given btl/ofi also creates one by default, this reduces the
incidence of a scenario where we allocate all available contexts by default and
if btl/ofi asks for one more, then provider breaks as it doesn't support it).
While at it, spruce up README on SEP content.

-> Added new targets in Makefile.am to call a new build script
generate-opt-funcs.pl to generate specialized functions for
each *.pm file.
-> Added new perl module *.pm files for send,isend,irecv,iprobe,improbe
which are loaded by generate-opt-funcs.pl to create new source files
that correspond to the name of the .pm file to be used as part of
MTL OFI.
-> Added mtl_ofi_opt.pm.template and updated README with details on the
specialization features and how to add additional specialization
support.
-> Added new opt_common/mtl_ofi_opt_common.pm containing common
functions for generating the specialized functions used by
all other *.pm modules.
-> Added new mtl_ofi.h which includes the definitions for the
function symbol table for storing the specialized functions along
with the definitions for the initialization functions for the
corresponding function pointers.
-> Based off the OFI provider capabilities the specialized function
pointers are assigned at mtl_ofi_component_init to the corresponding
MTL OFI function.
-> mca_mtl_ofi_module_t has been updated with the symbol table
struct which is assigned at component init.

OFI MTL supports OFI Scalable Endpoints feature as means to improve
multi-threaded application throughput and message rate. Currently the feature
is designed to utilize multiple TX/RX contexts exposed by the OFI provider in
conjunction with a multi-communicator MPI application model. For more
information, refer to README under mtl/ofi.

-Updated the design for sync send MPI calls to use 2 protocol bits for
denoting "sync_send" or "sync_send_ack".
-"Sync_send" is added to the send tag only and is masked out in receives
such that it can be read by the original Recv posted in the send/recv
operation.
-"Sync_send_ack" is sent from the recv callback to the send side. This 0
byte send does not generate a completion entry and instead sends the
message and immediately completes the opal completion in the recv.
-Tag formats ofi_tag_1 and ofi_tag_2 have been updated to include 2
more tag bits per format type due to the reduced protocal bits required
by OMPI.
