internal/task: allow retry with approval on promoting next APIs

Currently the PromoteNextAPIs task, on retry, will try to recreate the
CL from scratch. This fails if file its trying to produce already
exists. I found myself in this situation by landing the CL after the
task had failed for an unrelated reason (timeout? relui redeploy?) and
retry won't let me proceed.

This change allows PromoteNextAPIs to proceed in this case, with
approval. It adds a long message explaining the situation and what the
user should do (and whether they should allow the step to proceed).

For golang/go#70655.
