Improve live replay of failures from other workers #151

@Liam-DeVoe

Description

@Liam-DeVoe

If two workers are working on the same nodeid, and one worker finds a failure, the other worker currently continues to fuzz that nodeid. Instead, we would like the second worker to:

  • Stop working on the failing test for n minutes, to give the other worker time to shrink the failure.
  • If we don't get a database update that the failure has been fully shrunk after n minutes (refresh on every successful shrink?), replay and start shrinking that failure ourselves, under the assumption the other worker has dropped out..
  • Also: be careful around multiple interesting origins, and around failure size, in case we already have this failure (at a different shrunk state).

via #113 (comment)

(to check: if a worker starts up and replays an unshrunk failure, it should start shrinking it again before stopping; we might not do this currently)
