Replace the runner 'active' state with a new filter 'paused'
Release notes
In the Runner Admin view, we are allowing users to filter by Active, even though we don't display it as a status anymore in the status column. To solve the inconsistency, we will remove active as status filter and replace it with a new filter Paused, which can be set to Yes or No.
Problem to solve
This came up as a followup from !73680 (comment 722723867).
We still allow for users to filter by active even though it is not a status that we reflect in the status column for the runner table. That is inconsistent with the rest of the statuses that we list there and in the status column.
Intended users
Metrics
User experience goal
Have a single, consistent way of differentiating statuses from configurations of the runner.
Proposal
We should remove the active value from the status filter group, and replace it with a new filter Paused with values Yes or No. These will correlate with the pause/play button for each runner.
We should also remove the paused badge in the status column, we can rely on the pause/play button to communicate its active/inactive states.
