Make --bail work on a per-test/describe level

[mixalbl4-127]

According to documentation https://jestjs.io/docs/en/api#describename-fn, a describe is a test suite.

But --bail is not really working when first test suite fails.
Is there a reason this is still closed?

Reopen issue please. I can't use "a lot of test files" because of this: #6194 (comment)

Maybe it would make sense to introduce a new flag that would work on a per-test (not test file) level?

I suggest using the same flag.
Is there a use case for bailing specifically at the test suite level and not per-test level?

I agree - if we change we should reuse the old flag. I think that's the expected behavior.

Implementing bail that way should be pretty straight forward at least in circus

Seems like they change the documentation to remove the text saying a describe is a test suite. Now it says:

creates a block that groups together several related tests

I think a new flag it's better, since there should be several people using --bail in the way is working right now.

Is there a use case for the current behavior? I can't find a sentence to describe the current behavior that would be sufficiently different than bailing on a per-test basis.

Duplicate of #6527 (implementation wise, although that focuses on hooks, not tests in general)
