Bug 4730

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.

Bug 4772

Was checking time ranges against a bad cast'ed variable.
And MaxQueryTimeRange was being stored as minutes and was being compared
against the difference of two time_t's -- which produces seconds.

Fixes issue with bf_min_prio_reserve not being respected, leading
to significantly impacted backfill performance.

Partial write can happen under high system load, leading to step
termination when finishing the write would let the step launch
properly instead.

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.
