RailsStatsPublisher doesn't work with pipelines

Within a Jenkinsfile running:

step([
$class: "RailsStatsPublisher",
rakeInstallation: "",
rakeWorkingDir: ""
])

gives:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: no known implementation of interface jenkins.tasks.SimpleBuildStep is named RailsStatsPublisher

I assume that the railsStats code will need some similar amendments as were made to the rcov/saikuro tasks in: https://github.com/jenkinsci/rubymetrics-plugin/pull/28
