ibacm: Add lock to prevent multiple daemons from running
Use a lock file to prevent multiple daemons from running
simultaneously.
Without this lock, a second instance of ib_acm eventually
fails to bind to the server's TCP port and exits, but not
before it overwrites a portion of the log file.

ibacm: decrease default retries
With 15 retries, 2 seconds per timeout, the total timeout ends
up being too long when running on large clusters, where a node
can drop off at anytime. Decrease the default number of retries
to 2.

ibacm: Introduce loopback resolution 'protocol'
OFED 1.5.2 introduced a kernel patch that disables looping
back multicast messages to the sending QP. This capability
was enabled by default. The current ACM address resolution
protocol depends on this feature of multicast. To handle
the case where multicast loopback has been disabled, add an
option to ACM to resolve loopback addresses using local data
only. This option is enabled by default.
When loopback resolution is set to 'local', ACM will automatically
insert a loopback destination into each endpoint. Requests
to resolve a loopback address will find this destination
and use it to respond to client requests.

ibacm: fix issuing SA query after recording address
ACM has two ways that it can complete address resolution. The
first is to receive a response to an address resolution query.
The second is to receive a multicast message carrying an address
resolution request. In the second case, the address request
may be between two other nodes.
When this occurs, ACM will record the address information of
the source of the multicast message. However, it's possible
for ACM to be in the process of trying to resolve that address.
After it records the address, it must see if there's an
outstanding request against that address, so that it can kick
off route resolution.
This fixes an issue where ACM will hang resolving addresses
found during scale-up testing.

ibacm: enhance debug messages
Prefix all log messages with time stamp information. This
provides useful debugging information regarding the timing of
various operations.
To help match up various operations with each other, improve
and simplify logging of endpoint and destination names. We
save printable names with all destinations. The
function to display address information is removed in favor
of using the normal logging function, a call to format address
data, and per thread logging data.
Finally, we add ability to handle LID/GID addresses in acm_log_addr.
This is required to display SA and multicast destination addresses
in the acm log file.

ibacm: rework socket interface messages
Rather than indicating the src/dst address type in the acm message
header, indicate the type in the acm_ep_addr structure directly.
This adds more flexibility and will permit additional acm_ep_addr

Allow multiple addresses in a request or response message. This
is needed to support a wider range of fabric topologies, where the
inbound and outbound paths may differ, plus support failover.
Add path records to the resolve message, rather than as a separate
operation. Return path records directly from the lookup.
