I am proposing to remove the failover feature from OpenPBS core in view of using external tools like Pacemaker and corosync to achieve high availability.

The design can be found here: [https://openpbs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/2217705478/Removing+failover+code+from+PBS](https://openpbs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/2217705478/Removing+failover+code+from+PBS).
