Issue
Due to actions/runner#2566 skipped "Result" jobs are considered successful checks. This breaks our PR validation.
Fix
Introduce an ugly workaround: A new Result job that will be always skipped except when a required job fails, in which case it also fails.
Note
We could probably improve the naming and not call it "Result" but "Acceptance test failure blocker" or something to that end, but as the branch protection is controlled via another repo, let's keep it for now until we have validated everything to work as intended.
