Display total job time for each pipeline on CICD -> Pipelines page

Release notes

Problem to solve

When we look at CICD -> Pipelines page, each pipeline listed has a duration. That shows the time passed from when pipeline started, until it is completed. However CICD minutes are calculated based on job duration. In a pipeline many jobs can run simultaneously, so to know how many minutes were used to run a single pipeline, the user must manually sum up each job duration.

Jobs generally run concurrently, so the total CI/CD minutes isn't necessarily equal to the pipeline duration. Because the minutes are calculated by the sum of all jobs' duration and not end-to-end pipeline duration, it would be good to know how much CI/CD minutes were used by running the pipeline.
