"Scontrol abort" works. It was leaving a hung pthread due to a recent

Fix a couple of potential memory leaks
"switch_type" has been added to config data structure, un/pack, etc,

The plugins now use function calls to get a their type and plugin directory
   from a common data structure rather than individually reading and
   parsing the configuration file.

configuration file has changed (important for long-running jobs,
especially DPCS daemons).

abort and we want to decrease the likelyhood of that happening by retrying
less frequently when we know control is transistioning.

 o Overhauled existing code and performed general cleanup.

Streamline the API: eliminate activate() and fold it into a new create(), rename free() to destroy(), make unpack() return an allocated credential instead of being passed a 'blank' one
