connections.
-- Added SchedulingParameters option of "bf_min_prio_reserve". Jobs below
the specified threshold will not have resources reserved for them.
-- Add SchedulerParameter "no_env_cache", if set no environment cache will be
used when launching a job, instead the job will fail and drain the node if
the environment isn't loaded normally.
-- Remove the SchedulerParameters option of "assoc_limit_continue", making it
the default value. Add option of "assoc_limit_stop". If "assoc_limit_stop"
is set and a job cannot start due to association limits, then do not attempt
to initiate any lower priority jobs in that partition. Setting this can
decrease system throughput and utlization, but avoid potentially starving
larger jobs by preventing them from launching indefinitely.
-- Rename partition configuration from "Shared" to "OverSubscribe". Rename
salloc, sbatch, srun option from "--shared" to "--oversubscribe". The old
options will continue to function. Output field names also changed in
scontrol, sinfo, squeue and sview.
-- Add TopologyParam option of "TopoOptional" to optimize network topology
only for jobs requesting it.
-- Configuration parameter "CpuFreqDef" used to set default governor for job
step not specifying --cpu-freq (previously the parameter was unused)
-- Use TaskPluginParam for default task binding if no user specified CPU
binding. User --cpu_bind option takes precident over default. No longer
any error if user --cpu_bind option does not match TaskPluginParam.

rather than after application completely ends so that NHC can capture
information about hung (non-killable) processes.
