Add "URL is inactive" status/cue on URL detail report #40

URLs have a flag for "inactive". Inactive URLs do not get included in the automated test run queue.

Use case: A user might want to test and track a URL for a certain period, and once they identify if it's 'good', or if it's not and know what to fix.. there's no need to continue to test the page unless there's some major change to it. They do not want to delete the URL and historical data from the app, because when a major change is made and then tested, they need something/baseline metrics to compare the changes' performance and audit report to. That's half the value of the app and why people love this.

So we need a way in the report detail page where the user can easily see that the URL is inactive and currently not being included in the automated daily tests. Maybe like a toggle, or like the "build passes` type switch that shows either red or green. green means it's active, red is inactive. Not a fan of just showing "inactive" because then when it's not there, there's some doubt as to "is it active, or is this thing broken and not showing me the status".
