Add ib_resolve_noderecord_via wrapper similar to ib_resolve_portid_str_via

I have a more fundamental question: Do you have a use case for this?

Ira

The main purpose of this wrapper to make ib_resolve_noderecord_via as a single API call to resolve a node by looking at node record. 

But this does not actually "resolve" anything.  AFAICT it just returns if a NodeRecord exists.

Ira

From oracle's point of view since we have 
already included the name and signature of this ib_resolve_noderecord_via in our executable we thought it would be helpful to have this wrapper so that we can just drop the new 
library without changing/rebuilding our binaries.

Thanks
Sarat
