Description

§Right now rerun has two options:

• rerun failed
• rerun all but specify which nodes to skip

We should create an option that says "start from the last failed node and force rerun everything after".
Imagine a scenario where there is a fork where every action in the fork goes to the join node in both the <ok> and the <error> transition. This can happen to avoid killing every action in the fork when one of them fails. Later they can use a decision node to check if any of the actions failed in the fork.

If one of the actions in the fork fails and the WF is rerun with the "failed only" option, the decision node won't get re-executed as it haven't failed before. The new option would solve this issue
