This commit implements onesided operations for noncontiguous
datatypes using two different algorithms.
target datatype is contiguous, then an iovec MD is created for
the result and origin. The operation is performed using a
single Portals4 call (unless it exceeds the max message size).
similar to the one in osc-rdma is used to loop over the
contiguous blocks of each datatype. The operation is
performed using multiple Portals4 calls.
This commit ensures that individual operations do not exceed the
max atomic size or the max message size supported by the device.
Closes issue #143
