[bennoschoenstein]

What

Adds tutorial 6_core_allocation.ipynb: how a QUEENS scheduler splits a fixed core budget between num_jobs (parallel jobs) and num_procs (cores per job).

Why

Closes #307

Notes

• Registered under the tutorial_tests marker in test_utils/tutorial_tests.py.
• tutorials/output/ added to .gitignore.

Pull request overview

Adds a new tutorial notebook documenting how QUEENS’ scheduler core budget is split between num_jobs (parallel jobs) and num_procs (cores per job), including examples of idle-core scenarios and a mitigation strategy by splitting work into multiple runs/phases.

Changes:

• Added tutorials/6_core_allocation.ipynb demonstrating resource-allocation behavior and phase splitting.
• Registered the new notebook under the tutorial_tests marker so it is executed by the tutorial test suite.
• Ignored tutorials/output/ to prevent tutorial-generated outputs from being tracked.
