opal/mca/ofi: select NIC closest to accelerator if requested

This patch introduces a new MCA parameter
opal_common_ofi_gpu_aware_provider_selection(default false), to select
the closest NIC to the accelerator device. If the accelerator or NIC
PCI information is not available, fallback to select the NIC on the
closest package.

The distance between the acclerator device and NIC is the number of
hwloc objects inbetween, which includes the lowest common ancestor on
the hwloc topology tree.
