The pause/continue worker function should also be available on host level, not only worker group.

This enables the user e.g. to gracefully take a single encoder out of operation without interrupting jobs.

The current practice is to have a "worker group" per host, which invalidates this problem. Due to filter settings etc. this practice is unlikely to change.

A "worker group" may be reinvented as a real group of workers, IOW building a layer on top of the current "worker group" (which is more like "script group on one host").

Part of the new concept is already describe in #128.
