btl/tcp: add show_help message when peer hangs up

We commonly see messages on the users list where a peer has hung up
because it has crashed.  Instead of having just a BTL_ERROR message,
make this a real opal_show_help() message that tells the user that the
peer unexpectedly hung up, and they should look into *why* that peer
hung up.

+[peer hung up]
+An MPI communication peer process has unexpectedly disconnected.  This
+usually indicates a failure in the peer process (e.g., a crash or
+other unexpected process exit without calling MPI_FINALIZE first).
+
+You should check what happened to this peer process that hung up
+(perhaps there may even be a core file that you can examine); such
+crashes are frequently caused by application bugs or other external
+events.
