- previously had an additional stack for freedRequests_,
  which were used to 'remember' locations into the list of
  outstandingRequests_ that were handled by 'waitRequest()'.

  This was principally done for sanity checks on shutdown,
  but we now just test for any outstanding requests that
  are *not* MPI_REQUEST_NULL instead (much simpler).

  The framework with freedRequests_ also had a provision to 'recycle'
  them by popping from that stack, but this is rather fragile since it
  would only triggered by some collectives
  (MPI_Iallreduce, MPI_Ialltoall, MPI_Igather, MPI_Iscatter)
  with no guarantee that these will all be properly removed again.
  There was also no pruning of extraneous indices.

ENH: consolidate internal reset/push of requests

- replace duplicate code with inline functions
  reset_request(), push_request()

ENH: null out trailing requests

- extra safety (paranoia) for the UPstream::Request versions
  of finishedRequests(), waitAnyRequest()

CONFIG: document nPollProcInterfaces in etc/controlDict

- still experimental, but at least make the keyword known
