MPIX_Continue: the basic implementation

[JiakunYan]

Pull Request Description

The basic implementation of the MPIX continuation proposal (mpiwg-hybrid/hybrid-issues#6).

A brief overview: it introduces a new way to attach a callback function (named continuation) to a request object corresponding to a pending operation and register it with a continuation request. The callback will be invoked once the corresponding operation is complete. The continuation request provides ways to manage the execution and completion of registered continuations.

What this PR is not covered.

• Fortran binding.
• Logic related to attaching callback to continuation requests.
• Logic related to error propagation.

@yfguo I found the following error message

ERROR: Workspace has a .git repository, but it appears to be corrupt.
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git rev-parse --resolve-git-dir /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/mpich-review-ch4-ucx/.git" returned status code 128:
stdout: 
stderr: fatal: not a gitdir '/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/mpich-review-ch4-ucx/.git'

Am I looking at the right error message that caused the tests to fail? Why can it have a corrupt .git repo?

@yfguo Could we try this again? I think I have fixed all errors.
