#2137: Cache slave information on master

 If you click a slave through the web interface, you get information on:
 current builds, recent builds, and connection status/information.  If the
 slave is currently connected, you also get the information that the slave
 configured for "Administrator" and "Information", plus a graceful shutdown
 button.

 I have lots of slaves and I keep them named based on OS type, and then
 keep the hostname or some hint to it in the slave information, so that
 when something goes wrong I know where to ssh and fix it.  Unfortunately
 if "something wrong" == "the slave disconnects", I have a difficult time
 identifying where to go and fix the problem.

 So: can the master please cache the "Administrator" and "Information" and
 display the last-known values, even when the slave is not connected?
