Description
Add a SLURM SPANK lua plugin to create an option for SLURM to call UnifyFS.
Option should start and stop the UnifyFS daemon as the user at job startup and termination.
Initial attempt (PR #308) made the assumption that 'unifyfsd' is installed in a default system path. The SPANK functions such as `task_init` and `task_exit` only run as the user running the job in a remote context.
SPANK Docs: https://slurm.schedmd.com/spank.html
Can test with a local SLURM install, otherwise may need someone to place the .lua scripts on some nodes for testing.
Can be invoked in the manner of: `[srun|sbatch|salloc] -p pdebug --reservation=unifyfs …`

Research direction
Start with the SLURM SPANK documentation and prior PR #308, focusing on the task_init and task_exit entry points. Test the Lua scripts with a local SLURM installation using srun, sbatch, or salloc. Done means the plugin starts and stops unifyfsd as the job user at startup and termination without assuming a default installation path.
