Currently all transcoding jobs are logged to the transcode table. In case of an error, the error is logged to transcode_error, but there's no indication on which video scaler the error occurred.
That would be especially helpful for staged upgrades, e.g. when deploying a new ffmpeg release (e.g. for sec updates) where one canary server is upgraded ahead of the rest, as it would allow to monitor errors from that particular server.

[mediawiki/extensions/TimedMediaHandler@master] WIP transcode table updates
Ive been thinking about this, do we really need a column for this ? We can just log it as a field in the error. Not pretty, but a lot less duplication of servernames.
[patch no longer addresses this with a column, separate patch will later in the error string]
