Discussion on the UCC interface details

   • Library to own the buffers - during the ucc_collective_init, post, and test calls.
   • User to own the buffers between the init and post calls

3. FP16 and BFloat16

   • Support FP16 reductions for now, and punt BFloat16 support for later

4. Split operation

   • Support the current interface, not a generic interface
   • ucc_status_t ucc_team_create_from_parent( uint64_t my_ep, bool included, ucc_team_h parent_team, ucc_team_h *new_ucc_team);
