[JENKINS-65619] Allow plot plugin source CSV name to include environment variables

The plot plugin allows you to specify a filename for the source data. It would be very useful if this was able to include environment variables as filenames on some other post build steps and plugins do (e.g. the "Archive the artifacts" option, or the obsolete "Copy To Slave" plugin)

 

This would allow a CSV file name like "${JOB_NAME}_data.csv" to work, which currently doesn't

 

That would then allow the plot configuration to be copied more easily when creating a new job as a "Copy from existing" option
