Extend visibility of queue status for users

Our HPC users have requested the ability to see what is causing their jobs to pend in more detail. This includes what jobs/how may jobs are ahead of their in the queue, what resources their jobs are constrained on, etc. with other reasons their jobs might be delayed.

We would find it useful if this were available in LSF Explorer, but it could also be integrated into bjobs -p.

    The pending job list, as displayed, is the order at that moment in time - which will dynamically change based on the scheduling policies configured (fairshare, sla etc)
    -p -p1 -p2 -p3 will provide more detailed information.

    As an admin, you do have the option to dump the internal data structures for a pending job, which will provide all the associated limits/constraints affecting the job.  This is a relatively expensive operation, hence why it is not available to end users.       We are considering making a beautified version of this available via an AI agent in the future.
