This PR updates the PBS scheduler available job states. Most important change from the older version PBS is the change of completed to finished. May 2020 version is installed in Polaris and it uses the new job state definitions. Without this update, it is not possible to use Nexus to submit jobs in Polaris because the state finished (F) is not defined. For compatibility in other computers still using the older version PBS, I have kept both completed and finished state tags.
Here is the information from man qstat in Polaris which has the matching information (select '1B' after man qstat):
The job's state:
B Array job has at least one subjob
running
E Job is exiting after having run
F Job is finished
H Job is held
M Job was moved to another server
Q Job is queued
R Job is running
S Job is suspended
T Job is being moved to new location
U Cycle-harvesting job is suspended
due to keyboard activity
W Job is waiting for its submitter-
assigned start time to be reached
X Subjob has completed execution or
has been deleted
New tags in >2020 PBS version are B, F (replaced from C), M, U, X.

Nexus only uses the 'complete' status to track the jobs, therefore the rest of the status tags are there for bookkeeping: https://github.com/QMCPACK/qmcpack/blob/1c17c0bb1f3a68690ccd466068495ae5de4ac3ff/nexus/lib/machines.py#L1307
