[JENKINS-61772] Multibranch pipeline cannot be disabled in GUI, only in config.xml

It would be great to let users disable/enable multibranch pipeline job, similarly as onther jobs. Especially if the logic is there already and working. If I manually edit the config.xml and set true the job can't be executed, but it does not indicate that's disabled - this should be rated as a bug actually. Thank you for hearing us!
