Feature Request Startup options

Startup parameter

We have now an option:

• Additional terminate conditions
  This is very useful and works as accepted.
  It should also be useful to add
• Startup conditions
  Time in the queue before to start a new instance: [ ] minutes.
  (Meaning do not start a new vm if the time in queue is less then this time.)

Use case:

We use now a pool with 8 VM's starting from an image.
Because we completely delete the VM's from Azure if they get shut down, the startup of a VM takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

It often happens when a list of small builds (build time about 2/3 min) gets queued, extra Agents get fired up reacting to the queue, but by the time the extra Agents have started the queue already empty. (short build time against long start-up time.)

In our case setting this parameter to 10 minutes will solve this behavior.
