LSF job query filter on pending jobs without providing pending reasons

For large LSF clusters, the bjobs command takes significant time to gather the pending reasons (-p, -pei, -pe, -pi) making the query much longer than requesting all jobs. Suggest a new bjobs option to filter on pending jobs without supplying the p...
