[JENKINS-42555] Allow host name alias for Git notifyCommit URLs

Recently upgraded from Atlassian Stash to Atlassian Bitbucket Server.  At that time, we updated the host name from 'stash' to 'bitbucket' to provide a URL consistent with the tool name.  This has the adverse effect of breaking the Stash Webhook To Jenkins in that the notifyCommit messages include the Bitbucket Server base URL which has now changed from stash.xxx.xx to bitbucket.xxx.xx.  

It would be nice if the Git plugin allowed to configure alias names for the git host such that notifyCommit for 'stash.xxx.xx/some/repository' would trigger polling for all associated host aliases.  This would eliminate the need to do a bulk edit on the Jenkins jobs to reconfigure the git urls.
