Error description

• When starting build that includes a large number of steps with
  only a select number of steps to execute and should the job fail
  or be cancelled, attempting to restart the build will select all
  steps after the failed/cancelled step instead of the previous
  selected steps.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - Generate project with 6 steps with the following sample
  commands.
      1 - echo hello
      2 - echo hello
      3 - exit 1
      4 - echo hello
      5 - echo hello
      6 - echo hello
  - Step 3 "exit 1" will be used to cause the build to fail.
  - Start the build via the "Job Start" page and deselect steps 1,
  5, and 6.
  - Run the build with only selecting steps 2, 3, and 4.
  - Once the build fails on step 3, attempt to restart the build.
  
  Expected result:
  
  Under the restart page "Job Steps" tab, verify all steps under
  step 3 are selected, including step 5 and 6.
  
  Actual result:
  
  Under the restart page "Job Steps" tab, only step 4 which was
  pre-selected is selected.
  Steps 5 and 6 are not selected.
