Deprecate Green Balls

[basil]

• Jenkins UI no longer shows balls
• Current passing build status is already green
• This plugin doesn't load anymore on Java 17 with a reflection error

Somewhere around icon and symbol changes, this probably stopped working entirely.

I agree this plugin does not have sense to exists

Hey, after unstallation of this plugin we found a place that still shows "blue balls":

This is on the build page of Freestyle/Maven Jobs with Subprojects.
Those were green with the plugin and we'd expect them to be replaced by the green checkmarks that can be found everywhere else.
Has this location been overlooked in the standard UI?

@stifm Please file a bug report for the plugin that needs to be updated. I guess is this is https://github.com/jenkinsci/parameterized-trigger-plugin/blob/f6343e3e2288ffb4e889fb4f8bb317d9f5696084/src/main/resources/hudson/plugins/parameterizedtrigger/BuildInfoExporterAction/summary.groovy#L21 in parameterized-trigger plugin.

Thanks, I didn't realize that this comes from another plugin.
The bug report is created: https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-71919

Out of curiosity the Embeddable Build Status plugin still serves the old balls icons, for which this plugin is still useful.
