[PVFS-developers] "Invalid Argument" patch for library and manager

[Stuart White]

Along the same lines as David's previous post, both the pvfs library
and manager can receive "Invalid Argument" errors when the IOD services
are restarted due to stale socket descriptors.

The following patch fixes the library and the manager.

The library is fixed by enabling the __ALWAYS_CONN__ flag in
pvfs_config.h.  This enables code that already exists in
pvfs_open_generic that sends a NOOP request to each IOD when opening a
file.

The manager is fixed by adding some retry logic in send_req() in mgr.c.
