Tpetra: non-blocking Import/Export

[tasmith4]

Enhancement

@trilinos/tpetra

Provide an API for non-blocking imports and exports on DistObjects. The new API will have three general types of functions for both imports and exports. Using import as an example:

• beginImport -- packs the data and initiates the asynchronous send
• endImport -- waits for the asynchronous request to complete and unpacks the data
• isImportReady -- check if the data is ready to unpack

@tasmith4 Did you do everything you needed to here? Can I close this?

[tasmith4]

Yes, that was done a while back. Looks like I tried to autoclose it in #10300, not sure why that didn't work ...

[GrahamBenHarper]

@tasmith4 I noticed autocloses no longer work in Trilinos. I'm not sure what changed, but it's been this way for somewhere between months and a year

@trilinos/framework @sebrowne Can you investigate why issues are not being auto closed and fix it? Thanks!

[sebrowne]

I show that this has the DO_NOT_AUTOCLOSE label on it. Can you link any others that should have been closed but were not?

[tasmith4]

@sebrowne I think we thought that DO_NOT_AUTOCLOSE would keep the bot from closing it, but would still allow it to be closed with keywords in the PR. Is that not true -- i.e. does DO_NOT_AUTOCLOSE also block closing on merge?

If so, is there a way to keep the "one-year bot" from closing it, without blocking closing on merge with keywords?
