t2u job 1459 failed Irrecoverable because the builder host rebooted
mid-build. I asked DSA, and:

We should implement this. I'm not sure exactly how, though - this
would have to happen on the builder outside the VM, and we currently
don't run many commands there. dgit-repos-server doesn't get a way to
do that right now. But maybe the oracled could do it.
I guess we can think about this in the context of the retry work.
