[JENKINS-42032] Support for Pull request testing by trigger

I am not sure which component this should be assigned to, please feel free to move it to right component.

Pull request testing is important to our project, and we are currently using Github Pull request builder plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin. However, this plugin has not be updated recently because it up for adoption.

Blue Ocean team has been working on pull request feature and it would be key to have following features available for us to use the new PR feature.

1. Pull request should not automatically start, it must be triggered by user in whitelist.

2. Whitelist - Users with Commit access to the repo, specific org and specific users.

3. Status check should be made for pending, building, finished.

4. Pull request trigger should be able to request test and merge.

5. Pull request testing should be aborted soon as new commit has been made to the PR.

6. Pull request testing should be able to make comment on the PR once completed.

7. Multiple trigger support for each repository.

Example:

Please test macOS

Please test Linux

Please test

Please smoke test macOS.

Here is example of what swift project does.
