[JENKINS-23498] Add an option to skip the changelog generation

Sometimes the SVN checkout and changelog generation procedures take much time due to the big number of svn:external dependencies.

Our use-case:

• checkout = 10min


• changelog calculation = 15min

It would be great to have an option, which temporarily disables the calculation of changelogs in such cases (e.g. for the job development purposes).
