Introduce new JenkinsRule#buildAndAssertStatus() method

[slonopotamus]

This is identical to JenkinsRule.buildAndAssertSuccess but with user-specified build status

Thanks! It would be also nice to have some Javadoc with @since so that users can discover new API easily

[slonopotamus]

Done. I've also adjusted generics a bit so it now works without unchecked cast. This might break compilation of some tests that were giving something that is a Job but is not a ParameterizedJobMixIn.ParameterizedJob but such cases would fail with assert anyway.

Thanks!

This breaks with any newer core dependency. If you

$ git diff
diff --git a/pom.xml b/pom.xml
