Evicting a job and restarting should work as expected even when return codes of steps executed before eviction are tested.

When a batch job is evict and restarted, it no longer has access to the return codes of steps executed prior to the eviction. The requested enhancement is make this process work as expected, which is for the job to be able to continue correctly after eviction and restart when return codes are set by steps executed prior to eviction are testes for steps executed after the job is restarted.
