[saga-rg] JobService.submitJob() query

[Andre Merzky]

Oops, you are right!  My wrong - mixed it up with
ExecutionHosts.  Well, then I really was off target:
SAGA_HostList is then indeed what you should use to specify
the target resource.  

The run_job would, in its simpliest implementation, create a
job description with SAGA_HostList set to the specified
endpoint, and do a submit_job on that description.

Sorry for creating confusion...

Andre.
