Description

# Summary

Add the previous run memory request to lastRetry

## Use Cases

I'd like to be able to better control the memory request on retries. Sometimes I don't need to increase it (when the pod is evicted from a spot instance for example). On other occasions (OOMKilled) I'd like to exponentially increase it. Knowing the previous resource request along with [https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/pull/12722](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/pull/12722 ) should make this possible.

Research direction

Start at the existing lastRetry entry point and compare the behavior described in pull request #12722. Trace how retry metadata and resource requests are represented; done means lastRetry exposes the previous run's memory request so callers can distinguish eviction retries from OOMKilled retries, with relevant coverage added.
