AWS pcs: Update AWS PCS installer docs to Slurm 26.05 and checksums

Service: pcs · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: pcs/latest/userguide/working-with_ami_installers.md

Summary

Updates Slurm version references from 25.11.x to 26.05.x, generalizes install/systemd/plugstack paths to use a version placeholder, and refreshes the SHA256 checksum example and installer table entry for 26.05.4-1.

Security assessment

The change updates version numbers, paths, and the published SHA256 checksum for the new installer. Checksum verification guidance already existed; this is a maintenance update rather than a fix for a specific vulnerability.
