libibverbs: Add ibv_open_qp
XRC receive QPs are shareable across multiple processes. Allow
any process with access to the xrc domain to open an existing
QP. After opening the QP, the process will receive events
related to the QP and be able to modify the QP.

libibverbs: Add support for XRC QPs
XRC queue pairs: xrc defines two new types of QPs. The
initiator, or send-side, xrc qp behaves similar to a send-
only RC qp. xrc send qp's are managed through the existing
QP functions. The send_wr structure is extended in a back-
wards compatible way to support posting sends on a send xrc
qp, which require specifying the remote xrc srq.
The target, or receive-side, xrc qp behaves differently
than other implemented qp's. A recv xrc qp can be created,
modified, and destroyed like other qp's through the existing
calls. The qp_init_attr structure is extended for xrc qp's.
Because xrc recv qp's are bound to an xrcd, rather than a pd,
it is intended to be used among multiple processes. Any process
with access to an xrcd may allocate and connect an xrc recv qp.
The actual xrc recv qp is allocated and managed by the kernel.
If the owning process explicit destroys the xrc recv qp, it is
destroyed. However, if the xrc recv qp is left open when the
user process exits or closes its device, then the lifetime of
the xrc recv qp is bound with the lifetime of the xrcd.
