[Patternfly] disabled buttons

[Allie Jacobs]

Thanks Gabriel,

I think the grey-on-grey disabled button looks better within a table than
in the middle of a page.

The solution we went with for OpenShift was to change the background color
to white so we can use the blue primary and grey disabled button styles. We
also moved the status out of the block of text so the button doesn't
interfere with the spacing.
