RFC testbot: Remove the VM status block from the main page.

[Francois Gouget]

It is buried far far away at the end of the page so I doubt many 
people actually scroll down to check it out.

As far as showing what the TestBot is doing, the Activity page does that 
way better. It does require having a TestBot account and being logged in 
but that hard seems like an issue.

http://winetestbot.dolphin/Activity.pl

The one information one cannot get from elsewhere without an 
administrator account is the role of each VM (base, winetest, extra, 
etc.). I'm not sure that's much of an issue.

But maybe I'm wrong and there are some people who would really depend on 
it. If so let me know which part of it makes it a must have.

For what it's worth, I do look at this sometimes, usually to check the
"current status" field (e.g. to see if a VM is stuck, or just taking a
long time reverting, or as a quick way to gauge what VMs are done
running the daily tests). I guess that's also available via the Activity
tab, but it's another link to click and needs some horizontal scrolling.
I wouldn't care strongly if the status block goes away, though.
