[JENKINS-58597] Additional Step error with message

As noted in other issues the error() step is not intended to print messages. But there are some use cases where this becomes very helpful. Eg. provides information directly in the blue ocean log; the error step does this sporadic only.

Does it make sense to add another step with fails the build but also prints to the log?

Comienza examinando el punto de entrada del paso error() existente y cómo aparecen sus mensajes en los logs de Jenkins y Blue Ocean. Aclara el comportamiento del paso propuesto, incluido cómo debe hacer que falle el build mientras imprime un mensaje, y después define pruebas que verifiquen ambos resultados.
