Nathan Hjelm bdedd8b0d3 Per RFC modify the behavior of mca_base_components_close to NOT close the output. Modify frameworks to always close their output and set to -1.
Reasoning: The old behavior was a little confusing. mca_base_components_open does not open an output stream so it is a little unexpected that mca_base_components_close does. To add to this several frameworks (that don't use mca_base_components_close) failed to close their output in the framework close function and others closed their output a second time. This change is an improvement to the symantics of mca_base_components_open/close as they are now symetric in their functionality.

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).
