Include method to build ls_sim license files to required format

For LSF clusters that employ license scheduler...

During the direct importing of a cluster configuration from the LSF Cognitive GUI, or when generating a tar.gz file for importing, build the license files into the ls_sim directory automatically, or include in the tar.gz file.

Currently we have to employ our own custom method for creating these files and copy them into the lsf_cognitive_v1/work/lsfconfs/<importedConfig>/ls_sim directory AFTER the import is done from the GUI.

Having this built into LSF Cognitive would eliminate the need for a custom method where formatting errors could be introduced, as well as eliminate the command-line step required to copy these files in after importing the configuration from the GUI thus streamlining the entire preparation process.
