PLM: need a HPE PALS component

Need for ANL Aurora system. We will need this as its the simplest way to acquire SS11 VNI info.
I believe you need to complete/extend the pnet/sshot
component per our exchange with HPE.
Turns out that the vendor simplified things somewhat starting with an updated CXI provider. As long as a process is a child of slurmstepd or the pals equivalent of slurmstepd that the env. is set up such that the CXI provider will use the right VNI credentials under the covers if the application doesn't explicitly provide them in the call to fi_domain
and fi_endpoint
. But, for the general case we would want to modify pnet/sshot to crack these env. variables and pass them along in a PMIx way to the application processes.
