PAC - Add an indicator of job health to the Workload page

We need a metric displayed on the Workload page that tells the user the job is actually using CPU time and running correctly. Of course we have the job status (pend, run, susp, psusp, etc.) but this doesn't tell us if the processes are using CPU time and the simulation is running. I propose an efficiency column be added like RTM has to tell if the job is actually running.
There is the job idle_factor too, but I don't think the idle_factor is a meaningful indicator based on feedback from users when I pointed out it can be used to tell if your job is running correctly. For jobs that used 1 slot and maxed out 1 CPU it was easy enough to say if the idle_factor is around .99 then the job looks good, but when the job uses many slots/cores and dozens of processes are called throughout the job life it became less clear if the job is still running or stalled.

    We will consider adding an efficiency column similar to RTM, possibly in the next service pack.
