The rml/oob was not doing sanity checks on the input peer
parameter for the orte_rml_oob_send_nb and orte_rml_oob_send_buffer_nd.
Owing to the fact that there are places in the ompi/orte stack
where things like orte_show_help_norender are called way before
ORTE_PROC_MY_HNP, etc. are setup properly, all kinds of weird
startup failures can occur as the rml/oob tries to process send
requests where the peer is junk.
Rather than try to expand this kind of thing:
do the right thing in the rml level and return an error rather than
eventually failing in the send owing to peer not being valid.
@jsquyres please review
