Display build start time on viewConfigure.php and viewTest.php

[williamjallen]

The build start time has been added to the info table at the top of viewConfigure.php and viewTest.php.

I will add Cypress tests for the angular-based pages once I get Cypress set up.

@williamjallen, can we see what this looks like? Does the CDash build PR testing build a site that we can see? Is there a 'next' branch with that is used to display a CDash site?

We don't currently have a way to build a site on every CI run. Doing so would be quite impractical. That said, we do build a docker image for every commit with a successful CI pipeline when we push to master. That's where the cdash:latest docker image comes from.

The best way to test out changes is to either install CDash or use a docker container locally and then switch to the relevant branch.

Here are screenshots from the CDash instance created by the test suite:

build/<id>/configure (previously viewConfigure.php):

viewBuildError.php:

viewTest.php:

It's worth noting that the UI is rather inconsistent between these three pages. I think it would be productive to do a major UI overhaul and standardize the UI a bit more, but we need to find an appropriate funding source for that work. In the meantime, I have just been adding UI improvements here and there (such as the styled table on viewTest.php) as I work my way through other refactoring efforts.

Yes, the screenshots in the comment above are for the changes I made in this PR. There is one screenshot per page I changed.
