[slurm-users] maridb version compatibility with Slurm version

[Paul Edmon]

I've regularly upgraded the mariadb version with out upgrading the slurm 
version with no issue. We are currently running 10.6.7 for MariaDB on 
CentOS 7.9 with Slurm 22.05.2.  So long as you do the mysql_upgrade 
after the upgrade and have a backup just in case you should be fine.
