[openfabrics-ewg] Minor issues with resource tracking test

Hi Dotan:
 
While testing, i observed that we are using -m option 2 times as per help output (see below). One is to specify "MR TYPE" and other is to specify "Multicast" option. This is quite misleading.  
 
Moreover, -m option doesn't affect Multicast setting.  "-m YES" or "-m NO" doesn't switch on/off multicast. It execute the test with default MR Type and default Multicast setting.
 
If we specify -m to any other number from 6 onwards, we get an error saying "Bad option". But if we specify any alphabet to -m, the test executes with default settings. For eg. 
"./resource_tracking_test -m 6" gives error but "./resource_tracking_test -m a" doesn't give any error.
 
 
One more thing, please let me know if there is any upper limit to -x (number of threads) option. It fails if i specify -x 20. 
 
Thanks
Karun
