Nathan Hjelm 000f9eed4d opal: add types for atomic variables
This commit updates the entire codebase to use specific opal types for
all atomic variables. This is a change from the prior atomic support
which required the use of the volatile keyword. This is the first step
towards implementing support for C11 atomics as that interface
requires the use of types declared with the _Atomic keyword.

/**
* @file
*
* The opal_list_t interface is used to provide a generic
* doubly-linked list container for Open MPI. It was inspired by (but
* is slightly different than) the Stantard Template Library (STL)
* std::list class. One notable difference from std::list is that
* when an opal_list_t is destroyed, all of the opal_list_item_t
* objects that it contains are orphaned -- they are \em not
* destroyed.
*
* The general idea is that opal_list_item_t objects can be put on an
* opal_list_t. Hence, you create a new type that derives from
* opal_list_item_t; this new type can then be used with opal_list_t
* containers.
*
* NOTE: opal_list_item_t instances can only be on \em one list at a
* time. Specifically, if you add an opal_list_item_t to one list,
* and then add it to another list (without first removing it from the
* first list), you will effectively be hosing the first list. You
* have been warned.
*
* If OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG is true, a bunch of checks occur, including
* some spot checks for a debugging reference count in an attempt to
* ensure that an opal_list_item_t is only one *one* list at a time.
* Given the highly concurrent nature of this class, these spot checks
* cannot guarantee that an item is only one list at a time.
* Specifically, since it is a desirable attribute of this class to
* not use locks for normal operations, it is possible that two
* threads may [erroneously] modify an opal_list_item_t concurrently.
*
* The only way to guarantee that a debugging reference count is valid
* for the duration of an operation is to lock the item_t during the
* operation. But this fundamentally changes the desirable attribute
* of this class (i.e., no locks). So all we can do is spot-check the
* reference count in a bunch of places and check that it is still the
* value that we think it should be. But this doesn't mean that you
* can run into "unlucky" cases where two threads are concurrently
* modifying an item_t, but all the spot checks still return the
* "right" values. All we can do is hope that we have enough spot
* checks to statistically drive down the possibility of the unlucky
* cases happening.
