The idea is that users can choose to either annotate the build (the default) or the job, which will affect where the annotation is displayed in the buildkite UI

Description
We're currently building a feature where agents (and the jobs running on them) will be able to decide the "scope" for an annotation — ie, whether it's an annotation on the build (the current status quo), or an annotation on a particular job (new and shiny!).
This PR adds a flag to the agent to let callers decide the scope for their annotation. They can use
--scope build(or omit the flag entirely) to scope to a build, or use--scope jobto display their annotation on a job.Context
