Here is my second attempt at a standalone API for MBUS - message passing
based IPC for a shared nothing architecture.

The semantics of message passing is that sending a message to an endpoint
will always look like it succeeds. The appearance of endpoints is explicitly
notified through user-defined messages specified in the odp_mbus_lookup()
call. Similarly, the disappearance (e.g. death or otherwise lost connection)
is also explicitly notified through user-defined messages specified in the
odp_mbus_monitor() call. The send call does not fail because the addressed
endpoints has disappeared.

Message delivery into the recipient address space is ordered (per priority)
and reliable. Delivery of message N implies delivery of all messages <N
(of the same priority). All messages (accepted by MBUS) will be delivered
up to the point of endpoint termination or lost connection where no more
messages will be delivered.
Actual reception (dequeueing) and processing by the recipient is not
guaranteed (use end-to-end acknowledgements for that).

MBUS endpoints can be seen as interfaces (taps) to an internal reliable
multidrop network where each endpoint has a unique address which is only
valid for the lifetime of the endpoint. I.e. if an endpoint is destroyed
and then recreated (with the same name), the new endpoint will have a
new address (eventually endpoints addresses will have to be recycled but
not for a very long time). Endpoints names do not necessarily have to be
unique.

v2:
Split off all message definitions in a separate file message.h
Renamed Inter Process Communication (IPC) to Message Bus (MBUS).
Changed all definitions to use "mbus" instead of "ipc" prefix/infix.
Renamed odp_ipc_msg_t to odp_message_t.
odp_mbus_create(): Added parameter for default input queue. Explicitly state
that the pool must be use type ODP_EVENT_MESSAGE.
Renamed odp_ipc_resolve() to odp_mbus_lookup().
odp_mbus_send(): Added priority parameter.
Renamed odp_ipc_sender() to odp_message_sender().
Renamed odp_ipc_data() to odp_message_data().
Renamed odp_ipc_length() to odp_message_length().
Renamed odp_ipc_reset() to odp_message_length_set().
Renamed odp_ipc_alloc() to odp_message_alloc().
Renamed odp_ipc_free() to odp_message_free().
odp_message_alloc(): Corrected name of invalid message handle.
Added message priorities and calls to set and remove input queues for
specific priorities: odp_mbus_inq_set(), odp_mbus_inq_rem().
