Previously if a task was run as a dependency of another task,
the error message simply reported something like:

```
exit status 1
```

It is desirable instead to name the root task and all child tasks in the tree
to the failing task.

After this PR, the error message will read:

```
task: Failed to run task "root": task: Failed to run task "failing-task": exit status 1
```
