[JENKINS-41750] commit status updating broken

As of today, the commit status updating of my multipipeline project stopped working, and I'm seeing the following error in the logs:

```
Could not update commit status. Message: {"message":"Not Found","documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.8/v3"}

```

The following changes were made since the last time things were working:

• Upgraded all jenkins plugin (last update was ~2 weeks ago)


• Re-created my scan credentials token as a "username/password" token since I'm unable to use my old "secret text" token since upgrading: see https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-39086

I think the token itself is okay. It has the 'repo:status' scope, and I'm able to manually create a commit statuses with it using the GH API via curl.

Perhaps this is a recent regression causing the wrong HTTP request to be made for creating the commit status? Perhaps limited to GH Enterprise?

I'm happy to provide more information, but I don't know how to get more debugging info on the actual http request that is causing the problem.
