Fix the way Pyxis and Enroot are configured.

  1. Pyxis is disabled by default. In particular, the SPANK config file and the Pyxis config file required to enable it are stored in `/opt/parallelcluster/examples` folder so that they are ineffective but can be used by the user to enable Pyxisby simply moving them to the expected location.

  2. Move Pyxis and Enroot configuration to build time (there was no reason to configure Pyxis and Enroot at runtime)

  3. Changed Pyxis runtime path to `/run/pyxis`. As per [documentation](https://github.com/NVIDIA/pyxis/wiki/Setup#slurm-plugstack-configuration) a tmpfs should be used. Asd a consequence, we needed to define a tmpfiles config to make sure that the dedicated folder is not deleted at boot time.

  4. Changed Enroot paths, following the suggestion in the [documentation](https://github.com/NVIDIA/pyxis/wiki/Setup#enroot-configuration-example)
    1. Using tmpfs storage for `ENROOT_RUNTIME_PATH` and `ENROOT_DATA_PATH`
    2. Using a persistent local storage for `ENROOT_CACHE_PATH` and `ENROOT_CONFIG_PATH`.

  5. *Minor*: Moved Pyxis attributes from platform cookbook to slurm cookbook because Pyxis is a SLURM plugin so it would be conceptually wrong to have its attributes defined in platform cookbook.
