Galen Shipman 3401bd2b07 Add optional ordering to the BTL interface.
This is required to tighten up the BTL semantics. Ordering is not guaranteed,
but, if the BTL returns a order tag in a descriptor (other than
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER) then we may request another descriptor that will obey
ordering w.r.t. to the other descriptor.


This will allow sane behavior for RDMA networks, where local completion of an
RDMA operation on the active side does not imply remote completion on the
passive side. If we send a FIN message after local completion and the FIN is
not ordered w.r.t. the RDMA operation then badness may occur as the passive
side may now try to deregister the memory and the RDMA operation may still be
pending on the passive side. 

Note that this has no impact on networks that don't suffer from this
limitation as the ORDER tag can simply always be specified as
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER.
