Backport of commit cca1616b from 16.05

MCS plugin should not have been retroactively added to the 15.08 RPCs, and
caused 'scontrol show config' from a 15.08 scontrol to a 16.05 slurmctld to
fail.

See bug 2672 for details

of Slurm.

Use TaskPluginParam for default task binding if no user specified CPU
    binding. User --cpu_bind option takes precident over default. No longer
    any error if user --cpu_bind option does not match TaskPluginParam.

Compiler errors out preventing these 13 from running without fixing the implied
int type for main.

Do not use AC_CONFIG_FILES as this may not expand all variables at config time.

Loosely based on recommendations from http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Makefile-Substitutions

Avoid error message of "Requested cpu_bind option requires entire node to

Otherwise miscalculated limit will lead to job cancellation even when well
inside the allocated amount.

I noticed that the CpuFreqDef config option was only partially implemented. The value was parsed, but the never used. So I took the liberty of re-purposing it to mean sort of the opposite, namely the frequency governor to use when running a job step in case the job doesn't explicitly provide any --cpu-freq option.

I also changed the default of the CpuFreqGovernors option to be "ondemand,performance", since ondemand isn't available with the intel_pstate driver.

Otherwise the patch should be relatively straightforward and only changes a few minor things here and there.

Add TopologyParam option of "TopoOptional" to optimize network topology
    only for jobs requesting it.

Timeout stalled transfers and cleanup related data structures. Default
to wait five minutes since last update. Hook onto registration/ping message
type to trigger cleanup in a minimally invasive manner.

While here restructure certain functions to use list_* functions
rather than iterate on the structures.

Otherwise --mail-type=ALL will send an unexpected stage_out message back
to the user.

Siphash is a state of the art keyed hash function that is performance competitive with the usual non-cryptographic hash functions. It's used as the default hash function backing hash tables in e.g. Perl, Python, Rust, and so on. Here we initially use it for the gid cache hash table, and in the common xhash implementation.
