Rework core for NVIDIA Trusted Computing
 * Compress work structs so that they are shared between channels
 * Utilize the full amount of kernel argument space permitted (4k)
   before resorting to work fifo.
 * Rework the task preprocessing phase.
 * Use a separate abortDevFlag which is kept in sync with abortFlag
   using cudaMemcpy operations.
 * Rename src/include/align.h to src/include/bitops.h

Add lazy connection establishment for collective operations
 * Move buffer allocation and connection establishment to the first
   collective operation using that algorithm.
 * Accelerate init time and reduce memory usage.
 * Avoid allocating NVLS buffers if all calls are registered.
 * Compute algo/proto in ncclLaunchCollTasksInfo early on.
 * Connect peers in ncclCollPreconnectFunc if not connected already.
 * Also move shared buffer creation to the first send/recv call.

Accelerate intra-node NVLink detection
 * Make each rank only detect NVLinks attached to its GPU.

Add init profiling to report time spend in different init phases.
 * Report timings of bootstrap, allgather, search, connect, etc.

Add support for PCI p2p on split PCI switches
 * Detect split PCI switches through a kernel module exposing
   switch information.
 * Update the topology XML and graph to add those inter-switch
   connections.

Add cost estimation API

   time a group would take.

Net/IB: Add separate traffic class for fifo messages

Support ncclGroupStart/End for ncclCommAbort/Destroy

   multiple GPUs with a single process.

Improve Tuner API
 * Provide to the plugin the original cost table so that the plugin
   can leave unknown or disabled algo/proto combinations untouched.
 * Remove nvlsSupport and collnetSupport.

Do not print version to stdout when using a debug file
 * Also print version from all processes with INFO debug level.
   Fixes issue #1271

Fix NVLS graphs search for dual NICs.
 * Fix NVLS graph search when we have more than one NIC per GPU.

Fix crash with collnetDirect
 * Add separate graph search for collnetDirect, testing alltoall paths
   and working similarly to the NVLS search.

Fix hang when nodes have different CPU types
 * Add the CPU type to the rank peer info.
 * Align all ranks on the CPU type after the first allgather.
 * Only use the aligned CPU type for all tuning operations.
   Fixes issue #1136
   Fixes issue #1184

Fix performance of registered send/recv operations
 * Allow for single full size operations
 * Add INFO to confirm the registration of send/recv buffers.

Move all sync ops to finalize stage
 * Ensure ncclCommDestroy is non-blocking if ncclCommFinalize has
   been called.

Improve error reporting during SHM segment creation

Improve support of various compilers
   Merges PR #1177
   Merges PR #1228

Allow net and tuner plugins to be statically linked

Add support for IB SHARP 1PPN operation with user buffers.
Improve support for MNNVL, add NVLS support and multi-clique support.
 * Detect the NVLS clique through NVML

 * Rework bootstrap allgather algorithms to allow for large allgather
   operations intra-node (XML exchange).
Net/IB: add support for dynamic GID detection.
 * Automatically select RoCEv2/IPv4 interface by default. Allow to
   select IPv6 or even the network/mask.

   plugin.
 * Also search for tuner support inside the net plugin.
Improve tuner API
 * Add context to support multi-device per process.

93840e7476 Fix maximum handle size for NCCL Net v4 API
NCCL Net v4 supports a maximum handle size of 64 bytes whereas the
ext-net example header files set it for NCCL Net v3. Since,
`aws-ofi-nccl` plugin plans to follow the example header files, fix it
here.
