I dont see users to be able to use explicit algorithm - this will override anything user explicitly specifies. should we check Algorithm::UNSPECIFIED before we override?

I've modified it to make sure it will override Algorithm::UNSPECIFIED only when shm allreduce is applicable. Also I added unit test for shm allreduce in gloo/test/allreduce_test.cc
