Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #14696 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.2.x.
WARNING automatic cherry-pick of commits failed. Commits will require human attention.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
The artifact getter uses the go-getter library to fetch files from different sources. Any bug in this library that results in a panic can cause the entire Nomad client to crash due to a single file download attempt.
This change aims to guard against this types of crashes by recovering from panics when the getter attempts to download an artifact. The resulting panic is converted to an error that is stored as a task event for operator visibility and the panic stack trace is logged to the client's log.
