Remove conflicting docs from packages

Martijn Kruiten requested to merge martijnkruiten-guest/slurm-wlm:slurm_docs into master

When I build the Slurm packages in the 19.05.3.2-2 branch some of the same doc files are present in multiple packages, creating conflicts while installing. Example with --force-overwrite:

Preparing to unpack .../slurmd_19.05.3.2-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking slurmd (19.05.3.2-2) ...

dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/slurm-wlm/RELEASE_NOTES.gz', which is also in package slurmctld 19.05.3.2-2

This is because those files are listed in debian/slurm{d,ctld,-client}.docs. I propose that these docs are included in debian/slurm-wlm.docs instead.
