[JENKINS-58837] withDockerRegistry on multiple clusters

Following instructions on https://github.com/openshift/jenkins-client-plugin#moving-images-cluster-to-cluster, I am unable to promote the image between two openshift clusters as it throws an authentication issue.

Adding a sleep after the two withDockerRegistry calls, I can see that two folders are created under the @​TMP directory (unique names for each) with a config.json under each of them - these contain the authentication details to the respective registries.

Docker-commons-plugin version: 1.15

Docker plugin version: 1.1.7

Openshift Client plugin version: 1.0.31 (openshift client and docker registry version: 3.7.119)

Jenkins: 2.176.2
