This allows users to trigger the new early failure detection by matching regexes in the streaming job output. For example, if a unit test job outputs something sufficiently unique on failure, one could write a regex that matches that and triggers the early failure detection before the playbook completes. For hour-long unit test jobs, this could save a considerable amount of time. Note that this adds the google-re2 library to the Ansible venvs. It has manylinux wheels available, so is easy to install with zuul-manage-ansible. In Zuul itself, we use the fb-re2 library which requires compilation and is therefore more difficult to use with zuul-manage-ansible. Presumably using fb-re2 to validate the syntax and then later actually using google-re2 to run the regexes is sufficient. We may want to switch Zuul to use google-re2 later for consistency.
