[JENKINS-23927] Parameterized trigger should be able to optionally retry failed blocked builds

If you've got a long chain of blocking parameterized trigger builds and one fails for known transient reasons, it'd be really nice if that build could automatically be re-run in place, without interrupting the full chain. This shouldn't be enabled by default, obviously, and should have a limited number of retries. It should determine whether to rebuild by looking for a pattern in the build log, like the Naginator plugin.

Basically, I'm saying let's integrate Naginator-style behavior into the parameterized trigger plugin.
