Currently, we do not have any mechanism, which will trigger all Kafka jobs when they are in SUCCESS or WAIVE state. At first glance, this seems like a proper solution but sometimes you need to run these jobs again to check if some of the changes were fixed (f.e., SUCCESS jobs also mean <= 5 failures or one wants again to execute WAIVED job).

Thus, for that reason, we would like to have an option to forcibly run all JOBS (i.e., doesn't matter in which state they are in the gatings repo [1]).

Proposed solution:

We can add a boolean parameter as we have for rerun failed tests [2]. And then propagate that param in [3] method. Here we could simply add an or operator [4] and if such a boolean parameter is set to true it will also run a SUCCESS job (by default it will be false).
