Hi folks

We are working on integrating the RML with libfabric so we have access to both 
management Ethernet and fabric transports. A first step in enabling this is to 
convert the RML framework to multi-select of active components. The stub 
functions then scan the components in priority order until one can perform the 
requested action (e.g., send a buffer). This will allow us to simultaneously 
support both OFI and other components.

While making this change, we also:

* removed the qos framework - this functionality has been moved to another 
library that builds on top of the RML

* removed the ftrm component - this was stale, and it wasn’t clear to us how it 
would change under the new architecture

We will be adding the new OFI component in a separate PR. This just contains 
the change to a multi-select framework.

The PR is here:  https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/1457

Please feel free to comment and/or make suggestions
