[Jenkins] Matrix build for tests and vm

Hi,

Christophe changed the Jenkins setup related to testing in a very nice way:

-> first the current pharo 1.4 is updated to the latest. (as it used to be)
-> new: then we have a Matrix job for running tests on all plattforms.
     This is one project, but it spawns test runs on all plattforms (Linux and Mac for now).
                https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Build%20pipeline/job/Pharo%201.4%20Tests/

-> Only if this build is green, it triggers all depending builds.

see

        https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Build%20pipeline/


The matrix is used already for other things
        -> build of Cog:
                        https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-VM/
            win, linux, mac
        -> Testing Cog
                        https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-VM%20tests/
              (not yet windows)

This allows us to radically simplify the Jenkins setup and trigger actions
when *all* plattforms are in a good state.

This will allow us, for example, to automatically update the VM that is used
for running builds and tests or that is packaged in the one-click.

TODO
        -> fix 1.4 so that passing a script to the image works on Windows
        -> configure to run tests on windows
        -> One-Click build for 1.4 and 1.3
        -> .....

So we are getting somewhere! I am sure that 1.5 will be the first Pharo where we
build *the artefact of release* completely automatically and tested from the first
change onwards.

And this then forms a strong basis that we can build on top.
