We used to specify retrying for by far most of the jobs, but it was crucially missing on nix-build. So when a runner is shut down during this job, it will not be retried.
To simplify matters, I just made retrying on runner failure the default.
The only jobs that were not retried before this commit were:
nix-build
set_pending
set_success
set_failure
I don't think it hurts to turn it on for those status jobs as well.
Additionally, the .hackage inclusion snippet redundantly specified {retry: {max: 2}}, which I removed. Note that GitHub's merge algorithm for inclusion would fill in the {retry: {when: ...}} key from .common, it truly was a no-op in .hackage.
Still TODO:
Write a changelog entry (see changelog/README.md)
