When a Cirrus CI job started by 'cirrus-run' fails due lack of CI credits, it would look exactly like a failure in the job itself, thus the user would not be able to distinguish the problems. If a 'taks' failed due to CI minute lack, the 'notifications' field of given 'task' contains the following message: Failed to start an instance: FAILED_PRECONDITION: Monthly compute limit exceeded! To detect this, receive also task data and their notifications when waiting for a job and look for the message about CI credits. In order to see this status from scripts this will also return a new error code '3' if the out of CI credits situation is detected. Additionally in order to allow quick adaptation when the above string will be changed add '--cirrus-out-of-ci-credits-message' parameter which can configure the string.

When watching a build in a gitlab job, seeing that the job is still executing in Cirrus is useful, but even more useful is having access to a clickable URL to jump from the gitlab job into the Cirrus job.

In the 'libvirt' project we started to run out of the free Cirrus CI credits at the end of the month. It's annoying as it looks exactly like the job has failed.
These patches add detection of the state and introduce a new return code so that it can be handled from scripts.
