Description

Suppose you have a workflow where an action fails on the first try, but the automatic retry behavior for transient failures kicks in, and it succeeds on one of the later tries. Currently, the wf:lastErrorNode() EL Function will show that this node failed, even though it ultimately succeeded.

We should have wf:lastErrorNode() take into account the auto-retries by not setting the last error node until the last retry occurs.
