[JENKINS-45980] Adds password parameter to Job DSL

[TheLonelyGhost]

See associated feature request.

Exactly as the ticket says, the password parameter is built into Jenkins/Hudson by default so why not have it as a default option in the DSL?

[TheLonelyGhost]

It seems the linux CI runner is hanging? Seemed to do so when I ran it locally as well, both before and after making the changes.

At the very least, these aren't platform-specific changes so I'd argue the windows runner passing is proof it's stable.

See JENKINS-18141.

@daspilker I'm wondering if JENKINS-18141 you linked is relevant anymore. I do not see any password parameter option on latest Jenkins via the Automatic DSL, and mask-password plugin is outdated/unsupported and currently has vulnerabilities. What is the current way of producing the same parameter as a pipeline using password() in parameters closure?

I think it might be kind of workaround guys:

password { name('PASSWORD') description('Enter a password for given account.') defaultValueAsSecret(Secret.fromString('SECRET')) }
