[slurm-users] calculate license tokens from cpus

[Oytun Peksel]

Thanks for the tip Mark it looks quite useful for my purposes.

I am setting this up for a small intimate group so abuse is a non issue and I want everyone to be responsible for maintenance.

I think a calculation like this needs to take place in the job_submit.lua.
So you decide on a way for users to signal that they want this behavior, (partition, gre?) and that script calculates and sets the --licenses.

Well, that exposes it to a lot of error and possibly abuse.
