[slurm-users] Compiling Slurm with nvml support

[Paul Edmon]

That's what we do here.  We have three different rpms we build.

server: because we run the latest MariaDB on our master

general compute

gpu compute: because we build against nvml

We name these all the same but have them in different repos and 
distribute the repos to each node appropriately.

We also have a git repo in which we manage our slurm.spec file with a 
branch for each version and type so we can keep organized.
