#3829: Redundant jobs often run anyway, using up more GitHub Actions minutes than
necessary

 Keywords:           |  Launchpad Bug:
---------------------+---------------------------
 If a developer is working on a branch and pushes commit A, notices an
 error from one job on CI, fixes it, then pushes commit B then all of the
 remaining commit A jobs are probably irrelevant.  The jobs all need to run
 for commit B and those results will all supersede the results of jobs for
 commit A.

 Thus, in this situation, jobs for commit A should be aborted as soon as
 commit B is pushed.
