[JENKINS-11224] Matrix Job Build page: Icons for jobs not started yet

When starting a new Run of a matrix job you can open the "Job page" (http://jenkins:8080/job/AMatrixJob/)

On this page there is an icon for each sub-job of this MatrixJob.

The icon for a given subjob is:

-> Sucess/Failed if the sub-job has finished

-> Blinking icon if the sub-job currently running

----> Sucess/Failed if the sub-job has not started yet (Previous sub-job status retrieved from last build)

It would be helpful to have a grey icon for sub-jobs that have not been started yet in the current build.

Instead of the previous sub-job status.

Especially if you need to check sub-job results as you may think a sub-job has failed whereas it has not been started.

Start at the Matrix Job Build page and inspect how each sub-job icon chooses its displayed status, using the attached tmp.png as visual context. Compare the current build state with the previous sub-job status, and consider the work complete when a sub-job not started in the current build shows a grey icon instead of the previous success or failure icon.
