With Retries enabled, a failure in beforeAll is not thrown.

[TonyG623]

🐛 Bug Report

We are using jest.retryTimes(3) with the following versions:

"jest": "^24.5.0",
"jest-circus": "^24.5.0",
"jest-junit": "^6.3.0",

It seems when a failure in beforeAll happens, it just continues to the it part of the test.

if the it depends on anything in the beforeAll to happen, we see a stack trace which is unrelated to what actually failed.. undefined errors, etc.

If a failure occurs in beforeAll it should be thrown and the tests should fail at that point.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable jest retries in your config.
   jest.retries(3)
2. Throw some kind of failure in a beforeAll of a test. I used a reference to a variable that didnt exist

Also created a test repo. You can use the link below and run test in some-test.requests.spec.js

Expected behavior

2. The test fails saying variable is undefined. Stops test OR retries beforeAll x amount of times defined.

Actual behavior

2. The test continues with the it part of the test. Exception does not reference the original exception that happened in the beforeAll.
