REST-API fails with "slurmdbd.conf not found"

[Gurgel100]

In a default Parallelcluster (3.9.1) configuration it can happen that there is no slurmdbd.conf file:

Recipe: @recipe_files::/tmp/slurm_rest_api/slurm_rest_api.rb
  * ruby_block[Create JWT key file] action run
    - execute the ruby block Create JWT key file
  * file[/var/spool/slurm.state/jwt_hs256.key] action create
    - change mode from '0644' to '0600'
    - change owner from 'root' to 'slurm'
    - change group from 'root' to 'slurm'
  * directory[/var/spool/slurm.state] action create
    - change mode from '0700' to '0755'
  * ruby_block[Add JWT configuration to slurm.conf] action run
    - execute the ruby block Add JWT configuration to slurm.conf
  * ruby_block[Add JWT configuration to slurmdbd.conf] action run

Slurm accounting is a prerequisite for the Slurm REST API (this should be better documented). When Slurm accounting is enabled, the slurmdbd.conf will be generated. Added error handling in the post-install script to enforce this.
