Implement type safe configuration-as-code integration

[timja]

Adds type safe config rather than strings with separators, example:

jenkins:
  authorizationStrategy:
    globalMatrix:
      permissions:
      - permission: "Overall/Administer"
        user: "admin1"
      - permission: "Overall/Administer"
        user: "admin"
      - group: "my-group"
        permission: "Overall/Read"

No compatibility added for previous format.
Drops support for grantedPermissions

@daniel-beck any thoughts on this?

example config file:

jenkins:
  authorizationStrategy:
    globalMatrix:
      permissions:
      - permission: "Overall/Administer"
        user: "admin1"
      - permission: "Overall/Administer"
        user: "admin"
      - group: "my-group"
        permission: "Overall/Read"

@timja Thanks for the ping, I missed the original as I was offline for a while then. Looks nice, thanks. I'll review it further and perhaps look into amending the job-dsl syntax in a similar manner.

@daniel-beck any interest in this?

[daniel-beck]

@timja Definitely, just need to find the time :)

@daniel-beck this is getting close to it's birthday 😢, any chance of a review or would you approve an adoption pull request?

[daniel-beck]

any chance of a review

Still on my list. Keeps getting pre-empted by other, more urgent work, unfortunately.

would you approve an adoption pull request?

Definitely not a single-purpose adoption.

[daniel-beck]

Looking into this with a nicer YAML representation, e.g.

jenkins:
  authorizationStrategy:
    projectMatrix:
      entries:
        - group: authenticated
          permissions:
            - Job/Workspace
            - Overall/Administer
        - user: anonymous
          permissions:
          - Overall/Read

Noting that there should be a corresponding change to the Job DSL support so it looks vaguely similar. Unsure so far how to accomplish.

Some progress here: #144

[daniel-beck]

Closing in favor of #145 which seems mostly done.
