ci: enable --stepmgr for Frontier jobs to relieve slurmctld pressure

Each CI test/bench job is a single-node allocation that runs the full
regression suite in-process via ./mfc.sh test, launching one srun per
target (pre_process/simulation/post_process) for ~560 cases = ~1700+
srun step-creates per job, up to 32 concurrent. This congests the
Frontier Slurm controller.

--stepmgr delegates step management to each job's slurmstepd instead of
routing every srun through slurmctld, which is the appropriate mechanism
for many-step single-allocation workloads. Added via the existing
extra_sbatch hook for both frontier and frontier_amd; Phoenix unaffected.
