What changes are you introducing?

Rephrase procedure to check the status of Foreman/Katello because the widget is gone from Katello 4.18 and not yet part of Foreman 3.16.

If you think that it's essential to show the procedure multiple times, then I will revert the change that drops the context attribute & readd it.

Why are you introducing these changes? (Explanation, links to references, issues, etc.)

As of now, the procedure does not work for Foreman 3.16/Katello 4.18. I know that the PR is against "master".

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)

I made a suggestion to cherry-pick from develop to 3.16 in foreman prior to the 3.16.1 release. This would require a small rework of my PR.

Katello 4.18+ does not provide the Backend System Status widget anymore.
The code was moved to Foreman and will be part of Foreman 4.17+.
