Field G. Van Zee 075143dfd9 Added support for IC loop parallelism to trsm.
Details:
- Parallelism within the IC loop (3rd loop around the microkernel) is
  now supported within the trsm operation. This is done via a new branch
  on each of the control and thread trees, which guide execution of a
  new trsm-only subproblem from within bli_trsm_blk_var1(). This trsm
  subproblem corresponds to the macrokernel computation on only the
  block of A that contains the diagonal (labeled as A11 in algorithms
  with FLAME-like partitioning), and the corresponding row panel of C.
  During the trsm subproblem, all threads within the JC communicator
  participate and parallelize along the JR loop, including any
  parallelism that was specified for the IC loop. (IR loop parallelism
  is not supported for trsm due to inter-iteration dependencies.) After
  this trsm subproblem is complete, a barrier synchronizes all
  participating threads and then they proceed to apply the prescribed
  BLIS_IC_NT (or equivalent) ways of parallelism (and any BLIS_JR_NT
  parallelism specified within) to the remaining gemm subproblem (the
  rank-k update that is performed using the newly updated row-panel of
  B). Thus, trsm now supports JC, IC, and JR loop parallelism.
- Modified bli_trsm_l_cntl_create() to create the new "prenode" branch
  of the trsm_l cntl_t tree. The trsm_r tree was left unchanged, for
  now, since it is not currently used. (All trsm problems are cast in
  terms of left-side trsm.)
- Updated bli_cntl_free_w_thrinfo() to be able to free the newly shaped
  trsm cntl_t trees. Fixed a potentially latent bug whereby a cntl_t
  subnode is only recursed upon if there existed a corresponding
  thrinfo_t node, which may not always exist (for problems too small
  to employ full parallelization due to the minimum granularity imposed
  by micropanels).
- Updated other functions in frame/base/bli_cntl.c, such as
  bli_cntl_copy() and bli_cntl_mark_family(), to recurse on sub-prenodes
  if they exist.
- Updated bli_thrinfo_free() to recurse into sub-nodes and prenodes
  when they exist, and added support for growing a prenode branch to
  bli_thrinfo_grow() via a corresponding set of help functions named
  with the _prenode() suffix.
- Added a bszid_t field thrinfo_t nodes. This field comes in handy when
  debugging the allocation/release of thrinfo_t nodes, as it helps trace
  the "identity" of each nodes as it is created/destroyed.
- Renamed
    bli_l3_thrinfo_print_paths() -> bli_l3_thrinfo_print_gemm_paths()
  and created a separate bli_l3_thrinfo_print_trsm_paths() function to
  print out the newly reconfigured thrinfo_t trees for the trsm
  operation.
- Trival changes to bli_gemm_blk_var?.c and bli_trsm_blk_var?.c
  regarding variable declarations.
- Removed subpart_t enum values BLIS_SUBPART1T, BLIS_SUBPART1B,
  BLIS_SUBPART1L, BLIS_SUBPART1R. Then added support for two new labels
  (semantically speaking): BLIS_SUBPART1A and BLIS_SUBPART1B, which
  represent the subpartition ahead of and behind, respectively,
  BLIS_SUBPART1. Updated check functions in bli_check.c accordingly.
- Shuffled layering/APIs for bli_acquire_mpart_[mn]dim() and
  bli_acquire_mpart_t2b/b2t(), _l2r/r2l().
- Deprecated old functions in frame/3/bli_l3_thrinfo.c.
