[JENKINS-48813] Support non-file based plot data series

Based on recently (v2.0) added pipeline support for plot plugin: sometimes I have the values that should be plotted in memory and thus need a dedicated node block containing/wrapping (1) code for writing (e.g.) a CSV file and (2) calling the plot step pointing to that CSV file.

It would be very convenient if I could just call the plot step without the wrapping node block AND just handing over the data series, i.e. label(s) and value(s); I am not sure about the best API for that though...
