Description
Based on:
Currently when the backport runner fails it fails silently. This commit adds a step to comment on the PR so that the author can know it failed.
Opted not to post to a Slack channel because not everyone is in the GH/CI feed channels, and it could be too noisy for #team-consul.
I'm not sure about how to test that this works, open to suggestions!
