Detailed Description

When a build is submitted, the submitter has at the moment no means to stop the build when it knows that it is erroneous (bad destination, further check...)

Pterjan said: "It is easy to do as iurt supports cancelling a build (and does so for other architectures when one fails) but we don't have web authentication so we can't just have a button.

We could probably add some support to mgarepo to ssh and run the right command (which would check that you are the submitter or in sysadmin group) but the main problem is probably to identify the specific build to cancel. I guess we could have a button in the UI giving you a command to paste like "mgarepo cancel cauldron/core/release/20231231235959.pterjan.duvel.424242".

Thus we can add a line in the Build system status page to get the command to execute, then the submitter copies it and executes. The build system checks that the command is from the submitter.
