Patch to switch to standard pid files on Cray systems

The pid files in slurm.conf and the systemd service files must match, or systemd will time out looking for the wrong pid file. Currently, the Cray slurm.conf template has different pid files for slurmctld and slurmd than the service files.

There's no reason for us to use these nonstandard pid files, and it will save us some headaches to switch over.

I've attached a patch which changes the slurm.conf template to put the pid files in /var/run, matching the systemd service files. I've also removed some init.d handling that's no longer needed.
