Mjolnir wraps exceptions thrown by its invoked methods in a CommandFailedException. In cases where the thrown exception was of type OperationCancelledException, we want to know the reason for this cancellation. Was the cancellation made explicitly by the user or was it tripped by Mjolnir's preset timeout.

This change adds an additional piece of data to the CommandFailedException to express the cause of cancellation.

Command = Name,
Timeout = Timeout.TotalMilliseconds,
Status = status,
CommandCancellationReason = tokenSourceCancelled ? CommandCancellationReason.TimeoutCancellation : CommandCancellationReason.CallerTokenCancellation,

If we wanted to DRY this up a bit, we could just make this field a "FailureReason" or something (i.e. not timeout-specific) and set it to "Faulted" for non-cancellations.

I think we should change the exception message for known timeouts from "Command canceled" to "Command timed out". That's more visible in our logs than exception data, and will be more helpful for quick incident diagnosis.

I've now added specific exceptions for each case (timeout, cancelled, rejected). Each of these derives from CommandFailedException, so that there isn't a breaking change. I've kept the Status inside of the base class as well, again to avoid a breaking change.
