[JENKINS-66106] Folders (& multibranch pipelines): expose ability to disable columns

When a multi-branch pipeline job is created it has two columns by default that I want to disable:

• Weather - I think this is causing my Jenkins instance to slow down. Also, I have no benefits from having it. I have disabled it on all regular views and it really helped improve performance.


• Build button - nobody uses this column button in the multibranch "view/folder" stage

In addition I have 2 more view column plugins that we use for some views, but are added by default to folders and they are really not necessary:

• built-on-plugin - provides info about which Jenkins node took care of a given job's last execution


• Favorite plugin (button) - provides a clickable button for each job.
