[JENKINS-30716] Gerrit plugin quiet period

Add posibility to turn on the quiet period to group changes in batches: if a new change is merge within quiet period - reset the quiet period instead of adding another build to the queue.

Would that be possible? The situation in which I currently am is that I'm using gerrit plugin to trigger builds for gerrit's awesome replication event feature which lets me to wait for the change to be replicated to mirror repository. The problem is that when multiple changes come in a batch - all of them are reflected as instances of a build.

Now with SCM trigger it is possible to overcome this by adding a quiet period, but with gerrit trigger this doesn't work.

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Gerrit trigger's build-queue scheduling path and comparing it with the SCM trigger quiet-period behavior described in the issue. Done means successive changes within the configured period are grouped into one build rather than queued separately.
