Codefresh failed pipeline: restart from the failed step, not from the beginning

TL;DR

[Codefresh docs]: restart a failed pipeline from the beginning or from the failed step, both keep the original Git commit state. The from-failed-step option requires 'Permit restart pipeline from failed step' in the pipeline's policies: disabled it means only full restarts.
