This commit decouples OMPI deployment from the version(s) of the lower layers of the stack by probing for UDP support. Verbs applications assume a 40-byte header (there is no current mechanism for querying payload offset). So to support a 42-byte UDP header without causing existing applications like ibv_ud_pingpong or older versions of OMPI to crash, we must inform libusnic_verbs that we are aware of the nonstandard payload offset. We do this by overriding the `transport_type` field of the device to be 42 before calling `ibv_open_device`. If the library resets it to something else, then we know the lower layers are UDP capable. Otherwise we use the older custom-L2 format. This necessitated some minor ugliness in common_verbs, but it's as tidy as Jeff and I know how to make it right now. This commit only adds support for UDP headers and connectivity over the same L2 network, it does not touch routing or interface pairing.
