Hi HPC Team,

Slurm supports a “configless” mode since 20.02 that allows no configuration on compute nodes.
The slurmd on compute notes can identify the slurmctld on control node by either:

1. `--conf-server` option in slurmd cmdline, which can be added in /etc/default/slurmctld, or
2. SLURM_CONF_SERVER env or DNS SRV records, only if **no local configuration exists**.

However, slurmd.service packaged by slurm-wlm has `ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurm.conf`.
So simply removing configuration files will cause this unit to fail. Also, deleting conffile makes dpkg unhappy.

My current workaround is to make the following overrides to slurmd.service:

```
[Unit]
ConditionPathExists=

[Service]
TemporaryFileSystem=/etc/slurm
```

This hides `/etc/slurm` from slurmd process and let it fall back to DNS SRV records.

I am writing to discuss & request for better support for the configless mode, so that
users could be able to switch from independent / configless mode elegantly.

Thanks,
Shengqi Chen
