A pbs server might not support querying finished jobs via `qstat -x` command.
This is enabled on PBSPro by setting "set server job_history_enable=True" via
`qmgr`.
We don't know if Torque does support this option (TOCHECK!). However, if it's
not possible to recover job information on a finished job using this command,
`tracejob` might be used, but it needs to have access to the server logs, which
is not always the case.
As a consequence, the pbs backend should:
1) try to recover information on finished job by running `qstat -xf`
2) if this is not successful, try to run `tracejob`
3) if none of the previous option work, abort and point the user to a
configuration page, explaining what the problem could be.
