Packagers, use: plague-client requeue ...

There are still commit messages where a packager increases "Release" in
the spec file just to rebuild the package after it had failed due to
temporary buildsys problems. In the spec %changelog there is a comment
that the buildsys failed. Sometimes this is done for multiple branches to
keep EVR of all releases in sync.

This is unnecessary. Run:

  plague-client requeue <build-job-id>

instead of doing the "bump, commit, make tag, make build" dance. You can
requeue failed/killed build jobs until they succeed.

And so far, the buildsys would not even care if you simply asked it
to build the same tag once more.
