Reopen incident if pipeline retry failed and post notification

Jennifer Li requested to merge jennli-stop-retry-pipeline into master

What does this MR do and why?

Related:

This change allows gitlab-bot to recognize previous incidents which reported failures for the same pipeline. Therefore, if a pipeline was retried and failed, instead of creating a new incident and fire another retry, the automation will reopen the previous incident (in case it was closed), and leave a comment in the incident to warn team members that a retry has failed.

This will also prompt a Slack notification linking to the previous incident to the #master-broken channel, notifying team members that a pipeline has failed again from a previous incident.

The MR also changes the Slack Notifier to not post to Slack if an incident is automatically closed, and only send notification after retry failed.
