Release notes

Problem to solve

Currently there is a maximum limit of 2 when configuring a job to retry automatically. For self-managed customers, it would be useful to make this a configurable application limit.

Proposal

Allow self-managed customers to modify the maximum value accepted for retry:max syntax when defining number to automatic retries of a failed job.

Note: Current max was implemented in gitlab-foss!12909 (merged).
