[JENKINS-52149] wfapi shows incorrect status of failed/aborted job when job does not propagate or is in a try-finally block #496

Description

@jenkins-infra-bot

Within a pipeline and within a stage, if I launch a job and it fails, the status of the job will be FAILED. 

If I use the wfapi from the pipeline, I can get the status of all stageFlowNodes for that stage. The stageFlowNode for the job that failed will be FAILED.
However, if I launch the job and set propagate to false, the job will fail, but the stageFlowNode for that job will be SUCCESS.

Similarly, if I launch the job with propagate true, but I launch the job within a try-catch-finally block, the stageFlowNode for that job will be SUCCESS.
As a result, I am unable to accurately get the status of a failed stageFlowNode when it either doesn't propagate or is within a try-catch-finally block.
