It would be nice if a webhook event gets fired when a stage of a pipeline is started -- something like status:stage_started.

The use case for this is that it is useful to me to know when my 'build' pipeline stage completes successfully so I can alert developers -- the subsequent 'test' stage is quite lengthy and having to wait until it finishes to let developers know that the build stage finished is less than ideal.

Something like:

{
   "object_kind": "pipeline",
   "object_attributes":{
      "id": 31,
      "ref": "master",
      "tag": false,
      "sha": "bcbb5ec396a2c0f828686f14fac9b80b780504f2",
      "before_sha": "bcbb5ec396a2c0f828686f14fac9b80b780504f2",
      "status": "stage_started",
     "stage:": "test",
      "stages":[
         "build",
         "test",
         "deploy"
      ],
...

Note the "status" and "stage" fields. The "stage_started" status doesn't currently exist, but i wish it did. (I believe there is currently only "success" and "failed" to indicate success of the entire pipeline). The "stage" field also doesn't exist -- this would indicate the stage in the pipeline that has been started.

If this were in place, I would know that my 'build' stage has successfully completed when i receive a status:stage_started with a stage:test.
