[JENKINS-56668] parameterizedtrigger and git-plugin have an unsatisfied dependency on promoted_builds

If "Parameterized Remote Trigger Plugin 3.0.7" is installed, and "promoted builds plugin" is not installed

then Parameterized Jobs encounter this error, captured from errors.txt:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hudson/plugins/promoted_builds/Promotion

{{ at hudson.plugins.git.GitRevisionBuildParameters.getAction(GitRevisionBuildParameters.java:60)}}

{{ at hudson.plugins.parameterizedtrigger.BuildTriggerConfig.getBaseActions(BuildTriggerConfig.java:356)}}

{{ at hudson.plugins.parameterizedtrigger.BuildTriggerConfig.getBaseActions(BuildTriggerConfig.java:348)}}

{{ at hudson.plugins.parameterizedtrigger.ParameterizedDependency.shouldTriggerBuild(ParameterizedDependency.java:62)}}

{{ at hudson.tasks.BuildTrigger.execute(BuildTrigger.java:271)}}

{{ at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43)}}

{{ at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97)}}

{{ at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:429)}}

With the result that some actions the job is to take may not occur.

Notably, the "Discard Old Builds" action does not happen.

Looking in the code, I see here:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/git/GitRevisionBuildParameters.java#L60

that a check in "hudson.plugins.git" requires a class declaration from "hudson.plugins.parameterizedtrigger".

But the install of "Parameterized Trigger Plugin" does not automatically install then "promoted builds plugin".

...

When I manually install the "promoted builds plugin", the problem goes away.
