CLI command to return the agent status

[fginther]

Our workflow has us allocating jobs to a pool of queues (all maas servers with their own agent), with the ability to failover to the next device in the pool if one can't be provisioned. However, this doesn't work when the agent is in an offline state. We can't tell from the testflinger output if the agent is offline or just busy servicing an existing job. The outcome is that we end up waiting for hours before timing out.

In this case, it would be helpful to know the status of the agent (offline, waiting, etc), so that we can skip it when offline.

For example:

# testflinger agent-status
usage: testflinger agent-status [-h] agent
# testflinger agent-status lubba
offline
