rP9b0b50fbf469: Give "bin/worker" flags to repeat and retry tasks

Summary

See PHI1063. See PHI1114. Ref T13253. Currently, you can't bin/worker execute an archived task and can't bin/worker retry a successful task.

Although it's good not to do these things by default (particularly, retrying a successful task will double its effects), there are plenty of cases where you want to re-run something for testing/development/debugging and don't care that the effect will repeat (you're in a dev environment, the effect doesn't matter, etc).

Test Plan

Ran bin/worker execute/retry against archived/successful tasks. Got prompted to add more flags, then got re-execution.

src/infrastructure/daemon/workers/management/PhabricatorWorkerManagementExecuteWorkflow.php
71	I was actually playing around with this while writing D20200. I wanted to unarchive a task and also run it in the foreground with `PhabricatorWorker::setRunAllTasksInProcess(true)`, but that doesn't work since `unarchiveTask` assumes there are real daemons running somewhere to pull it out of the queue. Is there any way to give the `execute` and `retry` flows a `--foreground` flag?

19	Would "Repeat tasks which already successfully completed" be clearer/more consistent?
45–53	Did you already try this with the `>>` bit left-aligned with the first green column? As-is this still looks a little weird to me.
49	"not be repeated"

The execute workflow is always foreground, so execute --id ... --retry is now "foreground retry", and execute --id ... --retry --repeat is "foreground retry, repeating if necessary".
