Bodhi disallows buildroot overrides for updates that failed gating, which is a problem if you need one to fix the failed tests

[AdamWill]

See #2537 and https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-092636385d . The tests failed because freeipa should be rebuilt against samba. The update fails gating because the tests fail. To make the tests pass we need a buildroot override for samba so we can rebuild freeipa. But we can't create a buildroot override because the tests failed.

I can work around this with side tags, but still, feels like an odd restriction.

Looking back to this ticket, IMO this is the correct and expected behavior.
We shouldn't allow to push a broken package (or one which breaks other packages) into buildroot. The correct way to handle such situations is to use a side-tag, build all packages in there and push a side-tag update.
