When init containers are running with app containers.(an Istio sidecar container, which is automatically injected if the `label sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'true'` is added to the Pod), the init containers are not counted on pods list page, but they are counted by client with command "oc get pods".

2. On console the pod's container is '1/1' for 'Ready', but in client , it shows '2/2' for 'Ready' status.
    

2. On console pods list, should include init containers in readiness count if ready and started is true. Console should keep consistent with the CLI.
