sheriffbot currently only warns when two builds in a row fail. This policy is good for guarding against false positives in the face of flaky tests, but bad for letting people know quickly that they've broken things.

In the case of a broken build, rather than failing tests, sheriffbot should warn after just a single failed build. Compiling is not flaky like our regression tests are, so we shouldn't run into false positives with this policy.
