2017a toolchains

• foss/2017a WIP PR: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/3968

  • still on hold for OpenMPI 2.0.2...

• intel/2017a WIP PR: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/3969

  • install Intel PSXE 2017.x as a whole rather than as individual components (icc,ifort,impi,imkl)
  • impact on hierarchical module naming schemes?
  • requires changes in framework w.r.t. intel toolchain definition, maybe also custom easyblock for intel-psxe

EasyBuild v3.1.0
