Like pre-run and post-run, allow a user to run a list of playbooks for
a job. One example would be your job workflow would be to run multiple
playbooks over using a site.yaml file with include_playbook commands.
A second use case, more related to job design. With multiple playbooks
support for job.run, the first playbook would be use deploy your server
and the second playbook to validate the server was provisioned properly.
Today, this can be done using a single run and post-run playbooks,
however if post-run fails, zuul will return POST_FAILURE, not FAILURE.
Not a large issue, but could be confusing to users when POST_FAILURE is
returned.
While it is possible a user could create a single site.yaml playbook,
and use multiple include_playbook statements to get this functionality,
there are downsides to this approach (mostly with the leaking of
variables). Today, operators simply run ansible-playbook multiple times
with the specific playbooks they only want.
