Ralph Castain 0dfe29b1a6 Roll in the rest of the modex change. Eliminate all non-modex API access of RTE info from the MPI layer - in some cases, the info was already present (either in the ompi_proc_t or in the orte_process_info struct) and no call was necessary. This removes all calls to orte_ess from the MPI layer. Calls to orte_grpcomm remain required.
Update all the orte ess components to remove their associated APIs for retrieving proc data. Update the grpcomm API to reflect transfer of set/get modex info to the db framework.

Note that this doesn't recreate the old GPR. This is strictly a local db storage that may (at some point) obtain any missing data from the local daemon as part of an async methodology. The framework allows us to experiment with such methods without perturbing the default one.

Notes for hwloc component maintainers:

1. There can only be *1* hwloc version component at a time.
   Specifically: if there are multiple hwlocXYZ components (i.e.,
   different versions of hwloc), then they must all be .ompi_ignore'd
   except for 1.  This is because we currently m4_include all of the
   underlying hwloc's .m4 files -- if there are multiple hwlocXYZ
   components, I don't know if m4 will barf at the multiple,
   conflicting AC_DEFUNs, or whether it'll just do something
   completely undefined.

1a. As a consequence, if you're adding a new hwloc version component,
   you'll need to .ompi_ignore all others while you're testing the new
   one. 

2. If someone wants to fix #1 someday, we might be able to do what we
   do for libevent: OMPI_CONFIG_SUBDIR (instead of slurping in hwloc's
   .m4 files).
