Add priority into build queue

Description of the feature request

Add a priority field for indicating how a build should be managed.

Use case / for what or how I would use it

In our processes, we have to run Unit Tests when a PR is updated. Thus we have created a dedicated workflow in our app : “UT”

But we also have other workflows for letting internal users to ask new builds, for example : “PROD”

With a FIFO process, if UT builds have been triggered first, they could block PROD builds whereas PROD is more important and should be run first. I don’t find a reliable solution for now. In the meantime, we abort UT builds for running requesters’ build.

Currently we build every PR and the Merge. I’d like to build more often such as every branch, giving us the full CI even before a PR. But the PR/Merge builds are very important, and I rather that occur before building all other other nice to haves.

Same here. We are conducting checks on our daily work, but at the same time there are important release branches getting ready for a shipment that can be ‘On hold’ for hours. If we could prioritize some workflows to skip the queue that would solve all of our problems.
