Send work item failed progress messages

[niemyjski]

We don't send a progress message when a work item fails. What should the status be?

If we were to stick with the current WorkItemStatus model then I think setting the integer Progress property to -1 with an appropriate message would be clear enough.

@jamie94bc good point :)

Hi @niemyjski , I would like to take this issue. Just want to understand things. In WorkItemJob.ProcessAsync in case of an exception, we want to report the status as -1 with a proper message.

Awesome! Yeah, I think that works for a solution.
