Materialized view refresh in progress is returned as an error

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. What command did you run? What happened?

When the model for a materialized view is run, but that same model is already currently running in the background, the job returns as a failure. I would expect this to be a warning, since there was no actual error.

dbt run --select="tag:hourly-jobs" --target=prod

Steps To Reproduce

Run a long-running materialized view model that already exists (not a full-refresh). And while that is still running, run it again.

Expected behavior

I would expect it would return as a warning instead of a runtime error, since it's not entirely unexpected - it's just running a long-running job.

Screenshots and log output

Additional context

Not a huge deal, but it creates noise that could hide real errors

Can you validate if this error is still present in 1.8.0b1? I suspect that it is, but since that release has many changes to how MVs work, would really appreciate the extra info.
