embed service status of Gitpod into Gitpod

Here are the configuration options:

Here is the JavaScript embed

<script src="https://2wkvzfyrpv0h.statuspage.io/embed/script.js"></script>

Alternatively we could build our own:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@statuspage/status-widget
• https://status.gitpod.io/api

A good MVC (minimum viable change) here could be to a) use an icon like the prebuild status icon and b) surface service status near the user navigation. 💭

Loading	Outage	OK

On hover we could surface the outage message and link to gitpodstatus.com on click.

Loading (Tooltip)	Outage (Tooltip)	OK (Tooltip)

This is a wonderful design - exactly how it should be! Thanks @gtsiolis. Would love to see this developed 🤞🏼
