automake-1.14 will carp if the subdir-objects option is missing and it thinks
you should have specified this option, and since we treat warnings as errors we
need to specify this option.  MPICH requires a pretty new version of automake,
so it's doubtful we'll ever encounter the 1999-era automake that does not
understand 'subdir-objects'

Removed parts that are no longer relevant due to deprecated features
in MPICH or in the MPI standard.

This change was originally part of an extensive 'PE Code Merge' commit
that was a sqaushed commit of approximately 50 defect and feature code
changes.

automake yelled at me for overriding potentially user-supplied variables

This change causes the build to break with --enable-debuginfo

This reverts commit 08c22ebe.

These are misc debugger changes that were not picked up during the merge
for some reason.

Closes #1886. We haven't supported Windows since 1.4.1p so its time to
remove information for Windows installation from the README.

We slow down consecutive ssh connections to the same host to avoid the
ssh server falling over.  This patch allows the user to control how
many ssh connections we allow before throttling.

If the device specified a timer type, use that by default.  If none is
specified, configure will try to detect one.  User-specified types are
always given priority.

This will match the #include usage in the `hwloc` package.

The previous patch was meant to allow devices to automatically pick
the default timer type they like.  However, it forces the device to
pick one of the predefined timer types.

It is now covered under the PARAMS interface and is listed with the
remaining environment variables in README.envvar.  Also improve the
description of the variable in README.envvar.

MPIR_PARAM_ gets higher priority than MPICH_.  So we place the
MPIR_PARAM_ version as the preferred environment variable name, but
provide the MPICH_ version as an alternative.

The ABI string is updated to 11:x:y since we added the C++ binding for
distgraph.  No interfaces were deleted, so 'x' goes to 0, and 'y' goes
to 1.

Picked up the relevant parts of [2bda6bc7] and [49b74176].

If the user asked for an asynchronous thread, but the device does not
provide MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support, throw a warning.

1. Use the params interface to control the default thread level.

2. Don't restrict support for the default thread level only in
THREAD_MULTIPLE installations.

Use the params interface to check the ASYNC_PROGRESS variable.

We were originally initiating the asynchronous thread in SERIALIZED
mode as well.  But this is incorrect, since the remaining threads do
not acquire a lock and will conflict with this thread.

This is taken from the mpich-benchmarks repository, which is not
maintained anymore.

If a higher than single or funneled thread level is required and no
thread package is provided, abort.
