[JENKINS-73834] hover tooltip of stuck jobs in build queue can become extremely huge #16557

@jenkins-infra-bot

Description

@jenkins-infra-bot

Reproduction:

  • Have a job that's triggered repeatedly by a timer.
  • make sure there is no node to execute that job.
  • Let the job sit in the build queue for some time.

Result: After some time the build queue hover of that stuck job might take up all visible space, because it contains all the failed time based triggers:

I suggest to remove all duplicate build causes (or whatever model elements those are), as they don't provide any benefit for the user.
