Thank you to all Chapter Chairs/Committees who completed reviews.  The 
Pythonization effort is nearly complete.  

Note that this is essentially a "ticket 0" PR.  Based on the feedback from the 
ABQ Forum meeting and discussions afterwards, we strove to make Pythonization 
as much of a no-op as possible compared to the head of the 
mpi-forum/mpi-standard:mpi-4.x branch.  Meaning: we reversed our position on 
some of the "small improvements" that were presented in the ABQ meeting (e.g., 
we are no longer changing "rank" descriptions in the language independent 
bindings from "integer" to "non-negative integer").  It turns out that there 
were a million exceptions to these little improvements, so we decided it would 
be significantly safer / faster to *NOT* do them in this first round of 
Pythonization.

It's unclear if we need a formal reading and/or vote, or if this is completely 
"ticket 0".  Regardless, we're announcing this before the T-2 week deadline, 
just in case it requires voting/etc.

Issue: https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/158
PR:    https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/152
PDF:   attached to Feb 3, 2020 comments on the issue/PR

To reiterate: the focus of this PR is to be as much of a no-op as possible 
compared to the head of the mpi-4.x branch.  That being said: there definitely 
are "ticket 0"-quality changes (whitespace, grammar, ordering of Fortran 
params, etc.).  But no semantic or non-grammar-fixing text changes.

-----

It is quite possible (likely) that there will be followup errata and 
improvements after this PR.  In particular, the language-independent bindings 
came under intense discussion over the last 2 weeks.  There are definitely 
areas where they can be improved, but that is outside the scope of this first 
Pythonization effort.
