Returning reason for failed job in API response
Problem to solve
Currently you can specify in .gitlab-ci.yml when a job needs to be retried based on the condition of why the job failed, by specifying values for when.
When you look at a failed job via the API, it doesn't state why it failed, e.g. script_failure.
Further details
In the response from an API call to retrieve details from a failed job, it would be beneficial if the response includes the reason for failure, such as:
- unknown_failure
- script_failure
- api_failure
- stuck_or_timeout_failure
- runner_system_failure
- missing_dependency_failure
- runner_unsupported
