Give some indication of what's happening between build steps #1891

Feature Request

What challenge are you facing?

Things are happening between build steps but admins and interested developers have no good (simple) ways to get that information. Is the task being prepared (Is it fetching or syncing resources, mounting volumes, etc) or is it blocked waiting for a place to run?

A Modest Proposal

This could be implemented as part of #1890 but I think it might be cool to have this information integrated into the build log view as well, perhaps exposed by toggling a debugging icon or sorts. The idea is generally a developer is mostly interested in the execution of their actual build scripts or tests, but occasionally something peculiar will happen. Maybe there was a cache miss on the worker and it had to fetch something, giving developers a self-service way to explain away behavioral changes in their pipelines, would be 👍.
