Title: Perform workflow action on issues as a build step

Fixes https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13652

A new build step that takes a JQL query, and for each matching issue, performs
a configurable workflow step (such as "Resolve Issue").

Optionally adds a comment to each issue as it is updated.

This is mostly the same as the [Jira Issue Updater Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jira+Issue+Updater+Plugin), but has the benefit of being integrated with `jira-plugin`, so it can make use of the globally-configured sites, instead of requiring URL/username/password to be entered in every job configuration.

In my organization, I plan to use it combined with the JIRA Issue Parameter, so that after doing some action on the issue that was selected as the parameter at build time, I can also configure the job to do something like "close" the issue, or send the ticket back to QA after performing an automated merge.
