IB/core: Add "type 2" memory windows support

This patch enhances the IB core support for Memory Windows (MWs).

MWs allow an application to have better/flexible control over remote
access to memory.

Two types of MWs are supported, with the second type having two flavors:

    Type 1  - associated with PD only
    Type 2A - associated with QPN only
    Type 2B - associated with PD and QPN

Applications can allocate a MW once, and then repeatedly bind the MW
to different ranges in MRs that are associated to the same PD. Type 1
windows are bound through a verb, while type 2 windows are bound by
posting a work request.

The 32-bit memory key is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit
key. The key is changed with each bind, thus allowing more control
over the peer's use of the memory key.

The changes introduced are the following:

* add memory window type enum and a corresponding parameter to ib_alloc_mw.
* type 2 memory window bind work request support.
* create a struct that contains the common part of the bind verb struct
  ibv_mw_bind and the bind work request into a single struct.
* add the ib_inc_rkey helper function to advance the tag part of an rkey.

Consumer interface details:

* new device capability flags IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A and
  IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B are added to indicate device support
  for these features.

  Devices can set either IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A or
  IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B if it supports type 2A or type 2B
  memory windows. It can set neither to indicate it doesn't support
  type 2 windows at all.

* modify existing provides and consumers code to the new param of
  ib_alloc_mw and the ib_mw_bind_info structure
