Samuel Gutierrez 3b162593e6 New POSIX shared memory component and other common sm enhancements.
NOTE: mmap is still the default.

Some highlights:
o Silent component failover.
o The sysv component will only be queried for selection if it is placed before
  the mmap component (for example, -mca mpi_common_sm sysv,posix,mmap).  In the
  default case, sysv will never be queried/selected.
o Per some on-list discussion, now unlinking mmaped file in both mmap and posix
  components (see: "System V Shared Memory for Open MPI: Request for Community
  Input and Testing" thread).
o  Assuming local process homogeneity with respect to all utilized shared
   memory facilities. That is, if one local process deems a particular shared
   memory facility acceptable, then ALL local processes should be able to
   utilize that facility. As it stands, this is an important point because one
   process dictates to all other local processes which common sm component will
   be selected based on its own, local run-time test.
o Addressed some of George's code reuse concerns.

[sys call fail]
A system call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.
Local host: %s
System call: %s %s
Process: %s
Error: %s (errno %d)
#
[shmget call fail]
A shmget call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.
Local host: %s
System call: %s
Process: %s
Error: %s (errno %d)
Please verify that your system's shmax limit, or equivalent, is larger than
%d. On some Unix-like systems this can be done via: "sysctl -a | grep shm"
#
[mmap too small]
Open MPI requested a shared memory segment that was too small to do
anything useful. This is likely an error in Open MPI itself. If you
see this error, you should see if there is an update available for
Open MPI, and if not, contact the Open MPI developers.
Local host: %s
Requested size: %ul
Control seg size: %ul
Data seg aligment: %ul
#
[mmap on nfs]
WARNING: Open MPI will create a shared memory backing file in a
directory that appears to be mounted on a network filesystem.
Creating the shared memory backup file on a network file system, such
as NFS or Lustre is not recommended -- it may cause excessive network
traffic to your file servers and/or cause shared memory traffic in
Open MPI to be much slower than expected.
You may want to check what the typical temporary directory is on your
node. Possible sources of the location of this temporary directory
include the $TEMPDIR, $TEMP, and $TMP environment variables.
Note, too, that system administrators can set a list of filesystems
where Open MPI is disallowed from creating temporary files by settings
the MCA parameter "orte_no_session_dir".
Local host: %s
Fileame: %s

[sm support]
WARNING: "%s" not recognized - ignoring option. Suppressing additional
unrecognized option warnings.
#
[sm rt test fail]
WARNING: It appears as if your system does not provide the run-time behavior
that we rely on to safely provide %s shared memory support.
