Add additional protection in slurmctld as well.

Bug 4826.

job_limits_check() uses the job desc to call _valid_pn_min_mem(). This
second function might adjust the following values (up to date):

cpus_per_task
pn_min_memory
min_cpus
max_cpus
pn_min_cpus

If the function returns success, these adjusted members need to be copied
back to the job_record. It turns out pn_min_cpus wasn't copied back,
thus the logs claimed to automatically increase pn_min_cpus but actually
the job record wasn't modified and the select plugin tried to allocate
wrong amount of resources.

"#DW destroy_persistent" directives available in Cray CLE6.0UP06. This
will be supported in Slurm version 18.08. Use "#BB" directives until then.

Bug 4302

Only a single io_timeout_thread should be created for each sls struct.

Creating multiple, while seemingly harmless in operation, can lead to
fatal() messages when srun shuts down by destroying mutex locks that
are in use by threads that srun doesn't expect to still have running.

Bug 4596

This patch fixes the situation that makes features unrecognized where a node
features plugin is active and features are defined to nodes in slurm.conf.

It also preserves KNL node features when slurmctld daemons are reconfigured
including active and available modes.

Features not belonging to node features plugin are reset to what is in
slurm.conf when restarting or reconfiguring.

Bug 4734

_resv_overlap function was only checking the flags for the updated
reservation, but not for the rest of present ones. This implied
that the allowed overlap derived from these flags only applied
depending on the update order.

Bug 4806.

After commit b31fa177, we do not defer slurmd node registration if
HealthCheckProgram fails. So at slurmd startup, slurmd executes:

run_script_health_check();
_spawn_registration_engine();

And does not keeps spinning if NHC fails. Now if there are nodes
managed by the Power Save logic, when they are requested to be
POWER_UP because a job is allocated resources, then at slurmd startup
NHC is executed before node registers.

The problem comes when this NHC execution fails, if the NHC program
decides to update the node to DRAIN, since the job was already
allocated before this update, then the job will attempt to start
RUNNING but might fail since NHC detected there's something wrong.

So this change what it does is to detect DRAIN/FAIL node update
requests, then check if node is ALLOC/MIXED and POWER_[SAVE|UP] and
if so then force a requeue, so that the job doesn't start on a failed
node.

wait to retry or not.

I discovered this bug regression testing. Some similar situations will
result in srun continuously issuing step create requests and the
launch_common_create_job_step() function not sleeping between RPCs.
Basically launch_common_create_job_step() sleeps for some error codes
and srun retries the step create on some error codes. The problem is
that those error codes do not match in both places, resulting in
constant retries without sleeps. This situation is very likely with
job preemption combined with salloc, but other conditions can trigger
the same event. The following errno will all trigger this situation:
EAGAIN, ESLURM_DISABLED, ESLURM_POWER_NOT_AVAIL, ESLURM_POWER_RESERVED,
ESLURM_PROLOG_RUNNING, ESLURM_INTERCONNECT_BUSY.

Previously it was taking the MIN, without respecting the order.

Also add a note to the resource_limits.html page to clarify the
exception for Max[Wall|Time] and/or [Max|Min]Nodes limits, where
the default is that the Partition is the king with regards of
precedence, unless the respective job's QOS flags
Partition[Min|Max|Time]Limit are set.

This prevents a hard-to-diagnose issue where slurmstepd may fail
to start due to a missing library. This now ensures slurmd will
fail, and keep the node down until the library issue can be fixed.

Bug 4645, 4644.

fatal() calls exit(1) which precludes getting a backtrace.
That's fine on configuration issues and other types of problem,
but for hitting "impossible" edge cases getting a core dump may
be the only way to isolate the issue.

Adding to 17.11 so we can easily provide diagnostic patches without
needing users to back-port this implementation. Further use will
come in 18.08.
