Please add an allow_fail option #62
Description
Is there an existing issue that is already proposing this?

Describe the problem imposed by not having this feature
Sometimes we merge a PR without waiting for its CircleCI workflow to complete. When we merge, we delete the source branch. Then the subsequent job in that workflow fails on the git-shallow-clone/checkout step because the branch doesn't exist...
We would like to have a solution to prevent such workflows from spoiling our CI statistics.
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose to add an allow_fail option, set to false by default. If set to true, then the whole step would exit with code 0 even if anything would go wrong in it.
We would set it for our non-critical jobs, such as sending test coverage info to our coverage server.
