In flux-framework/flux-core#5739 there is a proposal to add a flag to preemptible/standby jobs. A scheduler can then use this flag to determine if a job may be canceled to make way for a higher priority job. However, currently flags are not shared with the scheduler, which would have to read the submit event to get the flags.
We should consider adding flags to the alloc request (which contains most of the rest of the submit event context).
