URL: https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4958


   This is a sister to #4938 to improve failure handling cases for:
   - concurrency enabled actions
   - cold start container failures
   
   <!--- Provide a concise summary of your changes in the Title -->
   
   ## Description
   In a previous PR #4938 we changed the behavior where
   - concurrency enabled actions
   - init failure occurs
   
   so that any queued activations at the ContainerProxy (because the action 
supports concurrency), will be aborted if /init fails.
   
   This PR, extends that same behavior to the case where cold start of a 
container fails.
   
   In both cases (/init fails, cold start for the container fails), we assume 
that a failure will not resolve by retry of the activation(s). That won't 
always be true (a transient issue with docker registry), but in our experience 
it usually true (an invalid image, or inability to launch containers for some 
longer amount of time than will be resolved in 60s).
