Merge failures are not obvious #1

JENKINS-31135 Trello card

When a merge fails, it is not obvious why the build is red.

[ ] It doesn't show in the build description (like other problems)

That could be the first simple solutions.

We should look into other solutions as well:

[ ] Show console snippets on the job description.
[ ] Build bade icons

@MadsNielsen:

One simple solution...we have the Nothing to do message like so build.setDescription(String.format("Noting to do"));. It should be fairly simple just to add this for merge failures.

@buep:

Agree, if you mean that we will set the build description to "Merge failure" when there is a merge failure (and not nothing to do).

Yes, exactly as we did in earlier releases as far as I remember.
