Ralph Castain 534d70025f Cleanup the detection of process binding during mpi_init. There are several cases that need to be checked:
1. no binding support - indicated by a negative return code from get_cpubind

2. binding supported, but not bound - the bitset returned by get_cpubind is the same as the available cpuset

3. binding supported and bound - bitset from get_cpubind is a subset of available cpuset

4. only one cpu is available - in this case, get_cpubind matches the available cpuset, but we are effectively bound

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).
