[JENKINS-31352] "List Subversion Tag Parameter" configuration for multi-project repository layout

Given a standard trunk/branches/tags repo layout, suppose you have multiple subprojects, for example:

_http://myserver:myport/svn/rmyrepo/tags/1.0.0/projectA_

_http://myserver:myport/svn/rmyrepo/tags/1.0.0/projectB_

_http://myserver:myport/svn/rmyrepo/tags/1.0.1/projectA_

_http://myserver:myport/svn/rmyrepo/tags/1.0.2/projectA_

Now suppose you have a job for building a specific tag of projectB. "List Subversion Tag" parameter, if configured with "http://myserver:myport/svn/rmyrepo/tags_" as _Repository URL, will show the complete set of tags (1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2).

No problems if few tags are present, but consider when the repo has tens or hundrends of tags: it's useless and error-prone to show all the tags. Better to show only the tags related to the project to be built.

I propose to improve the configuration options of the "List Subversion Tag" parameter, to let the user configure exactly which tags to include in the list.

Perhaps using a regular expression?
