Problem: the --mpibind=off option is specific to LLNL and could be confusing in project-wide docs for non-LLNL users.

Solution: remove that flag from slurm commands. Update docs with helpful suggestions where appropriate.

Fixes #99

Anecdotally, I haven't been turning mpibind off recently when I run flux under slurm and it seems to work fine. Maybe this is outdated advice anyway?
