[UI] Calculate cloud costs for a pipeline instance run
Description
Users are beginning to be very sensitive to their cloud costs, we should have something in the pipeline instance page that calculates the cost for each job in the specific cloud you are on.
One idea is having another column on each job, maybe next to log that shows the compute costs. I think this would look a little crude, so I'm thinking of some sort of pipeline summary page that describes this.
I think a total cost should be next to the total time, This pipeline ran for 16h28m and used 18h33m of node allocation time and cost $xxx.
I know the difficulties in calculating actual cloud costs because they fluctuate, so maybe the easiest approach is using the average price.

Something like this spreadsheet is useful.

Find the node cost, and multiply by the time the node was up for the job and report that on the job panel on the pipeline instance page.
