[JENKINS-42770] Add an 'exclude non trivial rebase' check box

The gerrit trigger plugin allow us to exclude gerrit event when they occur after a trivial rebase. I'd like to get the exact opposite feature : trigger a job only when it's a trivial rebase. That way I could perform a quicker check on trivial rebase and full check on non trivial updates

Another way that could help me do this would be to make available in the GERRIT_EVENT_TYPE parameter

• environment: Jenkins 2.44 on Debian Jessie, Gerrit Trigger Plugin 2.23.0

Start by tracing the existing trivial-rebase exclusion in the gerrit-trigger-plugin and inspect how the GERRIT_EVENT_TYPE parameter is exposed. Determine whether the feature should be represented by a checkbox, an event type, or both. Done means jobs can be configured to trigger only for trivial rebases while non-trivial updates retain separate behavior.
