Effective r15s/r1m/r15m values for job reservations

When using run queue length indices in rusage strings, there should be an option to have the value divided by ncpus. Since in the "total load used for scheduling" the r15s/r1m/r15m are taken from lsload -E and divided by the specific ncpus for tha...
