[JENKINS-71592] support maven.local.repo.tail

[jenkins-infra-bot]

It would be really nice to support maven.local.repo.tail directly in the withMaven parameters.

Usage scenario:

• have a build-only pipeline step that runs

maven install -DskipTests

• Have multiple parallel test steps that mount the repo built by the first step as read-only.
  But it seems e.g. surefire need rw repo access.

Thus it would be really nice to be able to use the maven.local.repo.tail property.
More information on that here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=235837219

Example:

 

withMaven(mavenLocalRepo:".repository",mavenLocalTailRepos:"$SHARED_WORKSPACE/.repository,$GLOBAL_CACHE_LOCATION")
{  ... }

 

 

The clause should maybe even fail the step if maven < 3.9 is used.
