Temporarily disable the 20+ crash and 500+ failure options on WK2 bots. Seemingly randomly the WK2 bots are aborting due to 500+ failures. Figuring out why is covered by https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94505 When you try to reproduce this locally you'll often see about ~700 flakey tests but they don't reproduce the flakiness on the retry. Therefore, even when you get the 500+ failures once, you still get actual information from the test run after they pass the retry. Therefore if we *didn't* bail early on the bots and instead re-ran the flaky tests then we'd actually be getting real information while we wait for 94505 to be resolved.

Created attachment 159475 [details] Proposed fix I don't actually know how to test changes to the buildbot infrastructure. I'll deferring to experts on whether or not that's possible and/or how to verify this change is sane.

Comment on attachment 159475 [details] Proposed fix looks fine. I wouldn't worry about testing this, since it'll show up on the bot and presumably we can back this change out once things are fixed.
