Description
We should allow users to cancel pending and running jobs (this can be limited to the triggering user and admin roles). This would allow a user to save-face on a run that might have secondary automatic actions such as posting to Phabricator or Bugzilla.

Research direction
Start by locating the job execution and authorization entry points for pending and running jobs. Trace how the triggering user and admin roles are identified, and check where secondary actions such as Phabricator or Bugzilla posting are initiated. Done means an authorized user can cancel either job state without triggering those secondary actions.
