#1861: NaNChecker: do not report missing storage when checking "all" variables

pull request at https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusutils/pull-
requests/6/nanchecker-do-not-report-missing-storage/diff removes lots of
output about variables having no storage if checking all variables for NaN
is requested. Since "all" variables means "all that could be defined" and
not "all that are turned on" there is always lots of clutter when "all" is
used.

#1959: Rename Root Directory "EinsteinToolkit"
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: anonymous | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: unset | Milestone:
Component: Other | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Upon downloading a fresh ET, I was reminded once again that there remain
some vestiges of the past: the root directory is still named "Cactus".
Although most of the code within the ET currently depends on the Cactus
infrastructure, I think we should have a mindset more inclusive to other
infrastructures moving forward. There is no "one size fits all" in NR,
after all.
To this end, I propose to rename the root directory "EinsteinToolkit".

#394: Testsuite log file should contain more information
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: testsuites |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
It is useful to look at the testsuite log file for information about how
the tests were run. For example, which compiler was used, and with what
compiler options. We need to balance this against providing information
which will always change, making diffs hard to read.
The most extreme case would be to output all make variables. Maybe better
would be to output CC, CFLAGS, CXX, etc. Another option would be to parse
these and say "intel compiler", "gcc", "pgi" etc.

#1970: perl >= 5.26 dropping "." from @INC
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: backport |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
New version of perl will no longer include "." from {{{@INC}}} by default.
This causes out perl code that uses "require 'lib/sbin/XXX.pl'" to fail.
Since this will affect the release version a patch needs to be backported.
See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/08/msg00013.html
Note that this is not Debian specific but affects all Perl packages.
I will prepare a patch.

#1967: qc0_mclachlan.par example in 2016_05 produces outdated parameter warnings
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Running qc0_mclachlan.par from the par directory of a 2016_05 checkout I
get:
{{{
WARNING level 1 from host 127.0.0.1 process 0
while executing schedule bin CCTK_PARAMCHECK, routine
ML_BSSN_Helper::ML_BSSN_ParamCheck
in thorn ML_BSSN_Helper, file
configs/sim/build/ML_BSSN_Helper/Parameters.c:157:
-> Parameter ML_BSSN::my_initial_boundary_condition is outdated; please
update the parameter file. Do not use this parameter, and set up initial
boundary conditions as usual.
}}}
Since qc0_machlan.par is a typical "beginner's file" and our tutorial
mentions it, we should update so that it does not produce warnings when
run anymore. We should also I believe update the paramwarn message to be
more helpful since likely the user did not know what the "usual way to set
up initial boundary conditions" is, otherwise they'd have done so :-).
Major as this should be be fixed for the next release.

#1717: hwloc: lnuma & lltdl *really* required?
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------

I downloaded the ET devel version (ca. Nov 26) on my (ubuntu) laptop and
compiled it, using gcc.
I compiled to the linker stage, and the linker complained:
ld: cannot find -lnuma
ld: cannot find -lltdl
I found references to these libraries in:
configs/[buildname]/bindings/Configuration/Capabilities/make.HWLOC.defn
After removing these references, the code compiled and seemed (on the
surface) to run okay. Are these libraries really necessary?
I ask because every time I need to install ET on a new machine, it would
be more convenient if the step "apt-get install libnuma-dev libltdl-dev"
were left out, particularly since reliable Internet access may not exist
at that time.

#1884: provide support for multi-model runs in thorn MPI
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: MPI |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
The attached patch adds a very thin layer of code to ExternalLibraries/MPI
to provide access to two communicators {{{MPI_Comm_World}}} and
{{{MPI_Comm_Universe}}} which can be used for multi-model runs (or runs
started via {{{MPI_Comm_Spawn}}}).
The code does not itself split a communicator, it only provides routines
to get and set the communicators.
It supports C and F90 calls (and C++ calls through external C and call
from F77 files since Cactus compiles those with at a F90 compiler).
Documentation is provided in the tex file and in the grdoc comments.
