The issue is that the field mca_topo_base_comm_t->mtc_periods_or_edges
has a different length, depending on whether the communicator is a
graph or a cart. One of the comm dup functions always assumed that it
was the length required by graph comms, which could lead to badness in
some cases. This commit makes the legnth of that field on a comm dup
be the proper length and copies the data over appropriately.
I also changed the syntax of the ompi_comm_copy_topo() function to use
shorter pointer notation; it made the code much easier to read and
fix.
