Why are these changes needed?
This PR bumps up the minimum number of allowed pending trials from 16 to 200. This increases the speed of autoscaling for a Tune job that starts with a small cluster.
Ray Core benchmarks test submitting up to 600+ placement groups at a time. Having too many pending placement groups affects actor scheduling latency, so allowing up to 200 pending PGs is a middle ground.

Mitigation for #43451
This does not fully fix the issue, since it may be better to adjust this value dynamically in response to cluster scale-ups. Currently, the value gets fixed to
max(16, int(initial_cluster_cpus * 1.1)
, whereinitial_cluster_cpus
is just the number of CPUs at the beginning of the job.Checks
