Remove legacy GASNet-1 backend

Open bonachea opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

The legacy GASNet-1 backend has been superseded by the new GASNet-EX backend, which has been Chapel's default GASNet backend since 658ac15b5 (Chapel 2.1).

Both backends run over the same GASNet-EX implementation, so this is mostly just about removing pointlessly duplicated Chapel runtime code, to improve future maintainability.

Deliberately undocumented setting CHPL_GASNET_VERSION is also removed.

Partially reverts 2f4776efc08bf695237d7aa1ef18419e14f40196

Manually tested on Perlmutter (ofi conduit) and JLSE Cascade (ibv and udp conduits).
