rslurm 0.3.0

First version on CRAN

Major update to the package interface and implementation:

• Added a submit argument to slurm_apply and slurm_call. If submit = FALSE,
  the submission scripts are created but not run. This is useful if the files need
  to be transferred from a local machine to the cluster and run at a later time.
• Added new optional arguments to slurm_apply and slurm_call, allowing users to give
  informative names to SLURM jobs (jobname) and set any options understood by
  sbatch (slurm_options).
• The data_file arugment to slurm_apply and slurm_call is replaced with
  add_objects, which accepts a vector of R object names from the active workspace
  and automatically saves them in a .RData file to be loaded on each node.
• slurm_apply and slurm_call now generate R and Bash scripts through
  whisker templates. Advanced users may want
  to edit those templates in the templates folder of the installed R package
  (e.g. to set default SBATCH options in submit.sh).
• Files generated by the package (scripts, data files and output) are now saved
  in a subfolder named _rslurm_[jobname] in the current working directory.
• Minor updates, including reformatting the output of print_job_status and
  removing this package's dependency on stringr.
