Improve test image and build/test process

Added mpi4py to build image and removed unwanted ohpc numpy package.

Use github api to retrieve real branch name, use that along with other
information to generate a meaningful build name.  To keep this from
happening too often, we only attempt to retrieve the branch name once
for each job during the first step, then communicate that name to
subsequent steps via an environment variable.  This required that we
stop using --login option when running the job steps from circleci,
as the lmod environment setup uses the same variable (BASH_ENV) to
store the path to the profile setup file that CircleCI sources for
each "run" in the job steps.

Use github api and the robot user oauth key (from CircleCI env) to post
an extra status message on each tested commit pointing to the CDash results.
By also adding an "update" step to the default build/test job and using
CTEST_UPDATE_VERSION_ONLY=TRUE, we can generate a deep link to the CDash
results specific to the appropriate commit.
