CLI command to return the queue status and length

[fginther]

Our workflow has us allocating jobs to a pool of queues (all maas servers with their own queue). As we have a pool of servers, we want to load balance the jobs if possible. Currently we can only see the length of the queue only after submitting a request. We then have to immediately cancel the job if the queue is too long. Also, the testflinger output only indicates how many jobs are queued. As a result, if the device is idle or in the middle of a job, the queue length is 0. There is no way to determine if the queue has active jobs that I'll end up having to wait on.

What would be helpful is a way to return the status of the queue and how many jobs are waiting. For example:

# testflinger queue-status
usage: testflinger queue-status [-h] queue
# testflinger agent-status hidon
available agents: 1
busy agents: 1
jobs queued: 2
