[Documentation:System] Term creation instructions (#592)
I created a new file and added instructions for usage of the create_term.sh script to create a script. I added it to the top of the configuration section as that is likely the first thing that the sysadmin should be doing. --------- Co-authored-by: Barb Cutler <[email protected]>

### Creating a term
10+
To create a term, you should use the script
11+
```
12+
/usr/local/submitty/sbin/create_term.sh
13+
```
14+
Follow these usage guidelines:
15+
```
16+
Usage: create_term.sh [-a|--amend] <term> '<name of term>' <start date> <end date>
17+
```
18+
19+
The term should be an abbreviated semester name like:
20+
```
21+
s24
22+
```
23+
While name of term would be a more descriptive name like "Spring 2024".
24+
25+
The start and end date must be formatted in mm/dd/yyyy format.
26+
27+
Use -a or --amend to amend an existing term.
28+
An example valid usage of this command would be:
29+
30+
```
31+
create_term.sh s24 'Spring 2024' 01/09/2024 05/01/2024
32+
```
