[FIXED JENKINS-28926] Block while upstream/downstream building cycles never complete
- One could argue that without this change the system is functioning correctly and that previous behaviour was a bug. On the other hand, people have come to rely on the previous behaviour. - The issue really centeres around state changes in the blocked tasks. Since blocking on upstream/downstream relies on checking the building projects and the queued (excluding blocked) tasks we need any change in the blocked task list to be visible immediately (i.e. update the snapshot) - I was able to reliably reproduce this behaviour with a convoluted set of manually configured projects but turning this into a test case has not proved quite as easy. Manual testing confirms that the issue is fixed for my manual test case - I have also added a sorting of the blocked list when probing for tasks to unblock. This should prioritise tasks as intended by the QueueSorter (cherry picked from commit de877367)
