Expose backfilling/recalculation status in the AFSDK
Currently analysis runtime information can be accessed programmatically using the AFSDK (AFAnalysisService.RuntimeInformationFields - https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Documentation/PI-AF-SDK/html/P_OSIsoft_AF_Analysis_AFAnalysisService_RuntimeInformationFields.htm). However, there are no fields which can be specified corresponding to backfilling/recalculation status of an analysis.
Adding a field for the aforementioned property or introducing a new method which could expose backfilling/recalculation status would be helpful for finding backfilling/recalculation errors programmatically. This approach should be much faster than finding analyses with backfilling errors in PSE.

This would be a really useful feature - we're currently using AFSDK to identify and submit complex chains of required backfilling calculations (i.e. if a historic input to Analytic A has been modified, backfill Analytics A, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5). We can identify the dependencies, submit the backfilling request, but then are unable to detect the status of each job, which makes it difficult to ensure the jobs are all processed in order.
