Add retry pipeline command processor

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

What does this MR do and why?

Create a retry command as discussed in Only maintainer are allowed to retry jobs in Gi... (gitlab-org/quality/engineering-productivity/team#258 - closed)

Examples commands added by this MR:

  • retry_pipeline 123 will retry all failed jobs in the pipeline with id 123
  • retry_job 123 will retry a single job with id 123

This gives triagers an option to retry a pipeline or a job if they lack the permission to do so with their own account.

Next steps

We list these commands in the master broken incidents so triagers can see they are available. I will add this in a follow up MR.
