Find projects by their relative names in promotion parameter

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Hierarchical+projects+support

Using `Jenkins.getInstance().getItem(...)` only returns `TopLevelItem`, which
means that it was previously impossible to use the `Promoted Build Parameter`
with folders. To make that work better, use relative names.

This is an alternative to pull request #47.

(Originally linked to JENKINS-25011 but I think this is addressing an unrelated problem.)
Well, if that is the case, then can we please reopen pull request #47? Would `transient` work?
