Submission status display is sometimes misleading about checker results
Describe the issue
The submission status page shows any passed/failed checker results (i.e., SubmissionCheck instances) for the submission. If there are no results or if all the instances are passing results, this is shown as a green box with the statement Your draft has been verified to pass the submission checks. If any are not passing, the box is red and the statement indicates that a check failed.
If there are no check results, this is still shown with the message indicating that the draft has been verified to pass the submission checks. This is misleading. It would be better to indicate that the validations have not been run.
Code of Conduct

Note that on the dev branch for asynchronous submission, the checker results are suppressed for drafts in the "validating" state. This avoids the worst of the effect, but if such a draft is canceled before the checkers are complete, the misleading impression becomes visible.
