KAWASHIMA Takahiro c44599ec13 mpiext/shortfloat: Add shortfloat MPI extension
This extension provides additional MPI datatypes `MPIX_SHORT_FLOAT`,
`MPIX_C_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX`, and `MPIX_CXX_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX`
for `short float` (C/C++), `short float _Complex` (C), and
`std::complex<short float>` (C++), respectively, or their alternate
types like `_Float16`.

See `ompi/mpiext/shortfloat/README.txt` for details.

This extension provides additional MPI datatypes MPIX_SHORT_FLOAT,
MPIX_C_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX, and MPIX_CXX_SHORT_FLOAT_COMPLEX, which
are proposed with the MPI_ prefix in June 2017 for proposal in the
MPI 4.0 standard. As of February 2019, it is not accepted yet.

  https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/65

Each MPI datatype corresponds to the C/C++ type 'short float', the C type
'short float _Complex', and the C++ type 'std::complex<short float>',
respectively.

This extension is enabled only if the C compiler supports 'short float'
or '_Float16', or the '--enable-alt-short-float=TYPE' option is passed
to the configure script.
