This is a fix based on a bugreport on github/mailing list from CGNS.
The core of the problem was that different processes entered different branches of
our aggregator selection logic, due to the fact that in some cases processes had
a matching file_view size and contiguous chunk size (thus assuming 1-D distribution),
and some processes did not (thus assuming 2-D distribution). The fix is to calculate
the avg. file view size across all processes and use this value, thus ensuring that
all processes enter the same branch.

Add a framework to support different types of threading models including
user space thread packages such as Qthreads and argobot:
https://github.com/pmodels/argobotshttps://github.com/Qthreads/qthreads
The default threading model is pthreads. Alternate thread models are
specificed at configure time using the --with-threads=X option.
The framework is static. The theading model to use is selected at
Open MPI configure/build time.
mca/threads: implement Argobots threading layer
config: fix thread configury
- Add double quotations
- Change Argobot to Argobots
config: implement Argobots check
If the poll time is too long, MPI hangs.
This quick fix just sets it to 0, but it is not good for the
Pthreads version. Need to find a good way to abstract it.
Note that even 1 (= 1 millisecond) causes disastrous performance
degradation.
rework threads MCA framework configury
It now works more like the ompi/mca/rte configury,
modulo some edge items that are special for threading package
linking, etc.

This is based on a bug reported on the mailing list using a netcdf testcase.
The problem occurs if processes are using a custom file view, but on some
of them it appears as if the default file view is being used. Because of that,
the simple-grouping option lead to different number of aggregators used on different
processes, and ultimately to a deadlock. This patch fixes the problem by not using
the file_view size anymore for the calculation in the simple-grouping option,
but the contiguous chunk size (which is identical on all processes).

In common_ompi_aggregators calc_cost routine:
do not cast the real division to an int intermediately.
This patch removes the obsolete int variable c and assigns
the result of the P_a/P_x division directly to n_as.
With the intermediate int c variable, n_as gets 0 if P_a < P_x,
resulting in a division by 0 when computing n_s.

This commit fixes a problem reported on the mailing list with
individual writes larger than 512 MB.
The culprit is a floating point division of two large, close values.
Changing the datatypes from float to double (which is what is being
used in the fcoll components) fixes the problem.

Similar to #6286 rounding number of bytes into a single precision floating point value to round up the result of a division is a potential risk due to rounding errors.
- remove floating point operations for `round up`
- removes floating point conversion for round down (native behavior of integer division)

the ompio module resets the amode from WRONLY to RDWR in order
to accoomodate data sieving in the two-phase fcoll componet. This
leads however to an error if MPI_MODE_SEQUENTIAL has been requested
by the user, since MODE_SEQUENTIAL is incompatible with MODE_RDWR.
SInce the change to the amode was done after opening the file for
individual file pointers but before opening the file for shared filepointers,
this lead to an error message in the sharedfp component.
Note, that data sieving is never necessary if MODE_SEQUENTIAL is set,
so this should not be a problem for any scenario.

ompio has the unique problem, that mca parameters set in the io/ompio component
have to be accessible from other frameworks as well. This is mostly done to avoid
a replication in the parameter names and to reduce the number of mca parameters that
and end-user has to worry about.
This commit introduces a generic function to retrieve ompio mca parameters, the function pointer
is stored on the file handle. It replaces two functions that used the same concept already for
one parameter each.

ompio has historically changed the WRONLY flag provided by the applicaiton
to RDWR to allow for the data sieving optimization within the two-phase I/O
fcoll component. This change did not have a performance impact
on regular UNIX file systems, but seems to hurt performance on NFS (and maybe Lustre?)
So provide an option that allows to keep the WRONLY option, and raise an error
if tha fcoll/two-phase would actually like to use the data sieving.

This is a bug fix based on a problem reported on the mailing list.
For very large read/write operations, ompio breaks the operation
down into multiple cycles. The problem was that
one of the variables required to maintain its values
across the different cycles did not do that, and because
of that the calculations of the memory offsets was wrong.

3. introduce an mca parameter in the fs/ufs component that allows to control
what the level of locking the user would like to enforce
4. move the initialization of the fs_block_size parameter from fs/ufs into the
common/ompio component. An fs component might be allowed to overwrite this
value, but none of the actual fs components do that.
