Add lsb.params setting to limit the number of times a job can be redispatched upon either a pre-exec failure of job initilization failure

We currently have jobs that will bounce from host to host either based upon a pre-exec failure, or a job initialization failure. This can impact > 500 hosts and cause an increase in MBD memory use. It would be nice to have a setting such as: MA...

Extend SessionScheduler being able to manage small parallel application (size up to one node)
