Resolve "Show `failure_reason` in jobs view content section"
What does this MR do?
Part of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41111. Displays a verbose failure reason on Job detail page: root/minimal-ruby-app-test/-/jobs/23
Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
The HAML part that was removed included some permissions check.
After following the stack on the API ruby code, those permissions seem to be checked to expose the retry_path, so the frontend is relying on retry_path to know if user is authorised.The HAML part that was removed included some permissions check.

^ Fixed.
Why was this MR needed?
Currently when a job fails, we have no direct way to know which is the problem. The only option is to look at job details and read the output log, where we can possibly see some error message. This MR display the error on the job detail page
