failing tests not alwasy shown correctly

Right now the life view shows that CI is failing but the most recent job shows no failure:

 

The action that fails is: https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/tests/actions/runs/3595463643/jobs/6054986543#step:7:281

Looks like the libpygit2 issue we saw before:

       gcc -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -fPIC -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.0/x64/include/python3.11 -c src/blob.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-311/src/blob.o
      In file included from src/blob.h:34,
                       from src/blob.c:30:
      src/types.h:36:2: error: #error You need a compatible libgit2 version (v0.28.x)
         36 | #error You need a compatible libgit2 version (v0.28.x)
            |  ^~~~~
      error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
      [end of output]

maybe fixed by forcing Ubuntu 20.04 rather  than "latest" in workflow yaml file in 49214df Let's see if this fixes things for good. I am wondering if ubuntu-latest may be a different Ubuntu version depending on which runner host one ends on? Or maybe something changed in ubuntu-lates? In any case, specifying the exact version we want and not some unspecific latest will help reproduce issues and thus is the way to go anyway.

@rhaas80 https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/tests/ currently only displays HTML pages corresponding to jobs for which the build phase has succeeded (and thus tests can be run), i.e. in the above case logpage.py is never reached and there are no test results to be shown for that job. Would it be an idea to let logpage.py fetch the workflow API and display such jobs as well, with the HTML containing something like: "Build failed" instead of the test results?
