There is a binomial algorithm in the code (i.e., the HNP would send to a subset of the orteds, which then relay it on according to the typical log-2 algo), but that has a bug in it so the code won't let you select it even if you tried (and the mca param doesn't show, so you'd *really* have to try).
This also involved a slight change to the oob.xcast API, so propagated that as required.
Note: this has *only* been tested on rsh, SLURM, and Bproc environments (now that it has been transferred to the OMPI trunk, I'll need to re-test it [only done rsh so far]). It should work fine on any environment that uses the ORTE daemons - anywhere else, you are on your own... :-)
Also, correct a mistake where the orte_debug_flag was declared an int, but the mca param was set as a bool. Move the storage for that flag to the orte/runtime/params.c and orte/runtime/params.h files appropriately.

Modify the RMAPS framework so we eliminate communicating a map to a backend node when certain attributes are set. The proxy functions are now implemented in the base, and a check made for HNP/non-HNP operation made in the map_jobs function prior to execution.

1. new functionality in the pls base to check for reusable daemons and launch upon them
2. an extension of the odls API to allow each odls component to build a notify message with the "correct" data in it for adding processes to the local daemon. This means that the odls now opens components on the HNP as well as on daemons - but that's the price of allowing so much flexibility. Only the default odls has this functionality enabled - the others just return NOT_IMPLEMENTED
3. addition of a new command line option "--reuse-daemons" to orterun. The default, for now, is to NOT reuse daemons. Once we have more time to test this capability, we may choose to reverse the default. For one thing, we probably want to investigate the tradeoffs in start time for comm_spawn'd processes that reuse daemons versus launch their own. On some systems, though, having another daemon show up can cause problems - so they may want to set the default as "reuse".
This is ONLY enabled for rsh launch, at the moment. The code needing to be added to each launcher is about three lines long, so I'll be doing that as I get access to machines I can test it on.
This commit was SVN r12608.
