Pipeline: Multibranch

Introduction

Enhances Pipeline plugin to handle branches better by automatically grouping builds from different branches.

Automatically creates a new Jenkins job whenever a new branch is pushed to a source code repository.
Other plugins can define various branch types, e.g. a Git branch, a Subversion branch, a GitHub Pull Request etc.

Notes

To determine the branch being built - use the environment variable BRANCH_NAME - e.g. ${env.BRANCH_NAME}
