What
In addition to the existing blocking and non-blocking collective calls,
this PR adds persistent collective call in COLL/UCC.
For example,

mpirun \
  -mca coll_ucc_enable 1 -mca coll_ucc_priority 100 \
  -mca coll_ucc_cts reduce_init \
  osu_reduce_persistent

How
This adds <coll>_init function for each collective operation,
using UCC_COLL_ARGS_FLAG_PERSISTENT flag [1].

Reference
[1] "Unified Collective Communications (UCC) Specification Version 1.0" (2022/02/18)
https://openucx.github.io/ucc/api/v1.0/pdf/ucc.pdf
- UCC_COLL_ARGS_FLAG_PERSISTENT in Section 8.8.4.2 "ucc_coll_args_flags_t"

I have few nitpick comments for the entire commit:

  • 'iniz' has little meaning. How about init_common instead ?
  • 'a' as a siffix has no meaning while ' alias' does !
  • in the original code when the call to the UCC collective _init was made it was multiline with clear separation between send and receive argument. Please maintain that structure, and add the persistent bool flag in front of the ucc_module.

does pc stand for persistent collective? maybe ps_cts_requested is better

I agree that ps_cts_requested is better. I changed pc_cts_requested to ps_cts_requested.

not sure how it supposed to work, maybe I missing something. It seems like disable mode doesn't work for persistent colls as for other. If user gives ^allreduce_init it means enable every persistent collective except allreduce, however since cts_requested is 0 initialy it won't change anything

This was originally missing statement, but I've added a comment as I'm unsure if it's a bug.
