Description
When you are on the Scan Progress dialog of an active scan, it lists a row for each scan type to run (or that has run), but only has a Skip button for the current scan type being run. I'd like to see 2 simple enhancements:
- There be a pause button in addition to a skip button for the current test category. It might be easier/more obvious to add a pause/resume scan button at the bottom of the dialog instead. Next to the close button.
- There be a skip button for every test category that has not run yet so you can skip individual test categories that have not run yet. (In addition to still being able to skip the currently running test category).

Research direction
The issue identifies the Scan Progress dialog as the starting point; locate its implementation and the scan-state handling for the current and pending test categories. Done means the dialog can pause and resume the active scan and skip each category that has not started, while retaining the current skip control.
