Augment "waiting for executor" text when blocked by throttle

      Just ran my first pair of throttled builds. These two jobs were the only things happening in a 4-executor install.

      So while one was running the other sat in the queue "Waiting for executor." Since there were three free, it looked off-hand like something was broken.

      Please augment the queue mouseover to say something like:
      "Waiting for build of [other project] to finish."
      or more generically
      "Build throttled. Waiting for blocking build completion."

          From what I can remember/dredge up from the Jenkins source, the reason we get just that useless message is that the CauseOfBlockage we return from ThrottleQueueTaskDispatcher.canTake actually gets thrown away - Jenkins proper is just looking to see if we return anything other than null. I'll dive into core to see if Ic an figure out a fix.

          I'm not Jira-savvy enough to know: if it's as you described & Jenkins throws away the text returned from the plugin, can this be converted to a bug against Jenkins or is that a brand new ticket?
