1863187 - Can we add "How to run locally" info to each job's details?

Status: ASSIGNED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, enhancement)

Description

[Tooru Fujisawa [:arai]]

If there's a problem on try run, and if I want to test it locally, currently I need to figure out how to run the test with ./mach command.
The command used in the automation often differs from ./mach, and it's often more automation-specific.

It would be nice if we can add documentation or associate a link for documentation to each job, so that it becomes easy to discover how the test can be run locally.

Some of the jobs are already described here, however I definitely agree it would be much nicer to have those linked directly from treeherder - and for all jobs to be required to have the appropriate information linked.

Plan:

1. put the description (how to run locally, link to more info, etc) into the job's YAML file
2. store the description into task (the payload data, maybe?)
3. in TreeHeder UI, get the description from the task, and show it
