Add note about switching accounting_storage plugins at the same time

doing an upgrade.

It isn't advised.  Do one then the other.  Basically if you are using the
mysql plugin make sure you add the cluster to the system as the mysql
plugin doesn't do that explicitly.

<p>Note if you switch from using the MySQL plugin to use the SlurmDBD plugin
you must make sure the cluster has been added to the database. The MySQL
plugin doesn't require this, but also will not hurt things if you have it
there when using the MySQL plugin. You can verify with
<pre>
sacctmgr list cluster
</pre>
If the cluster isn't there add it (where my clusters name were snowflake):
<pre>
sacctmgr add cluster snowflake
</pre>
Failure to do so will result in the slurmctld failing to talk to the slurmdbd
after the switch. If you plan to upgrade to a new version of Slurm don't switch
plugins at the same time or you may get unexpected results. Do one then the
other.</p>
