      = Fixed error message delay when workspaces failed to start due to insufficient CPU or memory

      Before this update, when workspaces failed to start due to insufficient CPU or memory in available cluster nodes, there was a UI delay in notifying the user. The dashboard *Progress* tab remained at *Waiting for workspace to start* until the workspace startup timeout, and only then the error message *Failed to open the workspace* appeared. With this update, the {prod-short} Operator aborts workspace startup if it detects an unschedulable condition and then quickly displays the following error message: *Failed to open the workspace: Pod is unschedulable: __<reasons_and_statuses>__*.

      When the CPU or the memory requested to start a workspace are higher than the maximum available CPU in the cluster nodes, the scheduler fails right away. But the Dev Spaces user is notified only after the workspace startup timeout (5 minutes) and the message doesn't provide any clue about the origin of the problem.

      Here are two devfiles:
