Yeah pm.reserve_server_for_ping and pm.reserve_server_for_status flags would be very usefull. It
puzzles me why this is not yet available. How am I going to examine what's going on the server
in case of worker exhaustion when the status page doesn't work in this circumstance?

Also, the server handling status requests shouldn't be shown in status output, nor these
reserved servers included in statistics.

We have experienced the same issue within Kubernetes and maxed out php-fpm. We run
github.com/hipages/php-fpm_exporter as a sidecar container to collect metrics and during certain
times it will miss scrapes due to php-fpm not being responsive. This will trigger a pod restart.

Both ping and status page should have reserved 'admin' connection.

Sorry, this should be in reference to the ping functionality.

Description:
------------
PHP-FPM should have a reserved worker available to serve the status page even if all other workers
are busy.

This prevents false alarms when monitoring the status page (and it being unable to be served due to
worker exhaustion)

The thought on this comes from MySQL - where you can hit max connections but there is a reserved
connection so a superuser can connect and still work with the server.

Test script:
---------------
Exceed the configured worker count.
Attempt to access the status page.

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to see the status page.

Actual result:
--------------
Attempt to access the status page will fail.
