In Buildbot, pending runs are ones that haven't started yet. It's quite misleading if dashboard reports pending and current run as "pending".

I don't think that we need a number for pending runs. Generally, Buildbot just coalesces all revisions, testing the most current one. So the number just means "how many incoming requests came during the current run".

Some bots could be configured to not coalesce, or even to backtrack when idle. I'm not sure of all the details.
