For heavy users of "dispatch jobs" (where many jobs are declared as
dependencies of a single job which then mutates the child_jobs
return value to indicate which few of those should be run), there
may be large numbers of "SKIPPED" jobs in the status page and in the
final job report, which reduces the usability of both of those.
Yet it is important for users to be able to see skipped jobs since
they may represent an error (they may be inadvertently skipped).
To address this, we remove "SKIPPED" jobs from the status page by
default, but add a button at the bottom of the change box which
can toggle their display.
We remove "SKIPPED" jobs from the report, but add a note at the
bottom which says "Skipped X jobs". Users can follow the buildset
link to see which ones were skipped.
The buildset page will continue to show all the jobs for the buildset.
