Benjamin Staffin 67cfe4ad0d Add display-name job property.
There is apparently no way to clear this property using the REST api
once it is set, and the included documentation change warns of that.

General Job Configuration
=========================
The most straightforward way to create a job is simply to define a
Job in YAML. It looks like this::
- job:
name: job-name
That's not very useful, so you'll want to add some actions such as
:ref:`builders`, and perhaps :ref:`publishers`. Those are described
later. There are a few basic optional fields for a Job definition::
- job:
name: job-name
project-type: freestyle
defaults: global
disabled: false
display-name: 'Fancy job name'
concurrent: true
workspace: /srv/build-area/job-name
quiet-period: 5
block-downstream: false
block-upstream: false
:Job Parameters:
* **project-type**:
Defaults to "freestyle", but "maven" can also be specified.
* **defaults**:
Specifies a set of :ref:`defaults` to use for this job, defaults to
''global''. If you have values that are common to all of your jobs,
create a ``global`` :ref:`defaults` object to hold them, and no further
configuration of individual jobs is necessary. If some jobs
should not use the ``global`` defaults, use this field to specify a
different set of defaults.
* **disabled**:
Boolean value to set whether or not this job should be disabled in
Jenkins. Defaults to ``false`` (job will be enabled).
* **display-name**:
Optional name shown for the project throughout the Jenkins web GUI in
place of the actual job name. The jenkins_jobs tool cannot fully remove
this trait once it is set, so use caution when setting it. Setting it to
the same string as the job's name is an effective un-set workaround.
Alternately, the field can be cleared manually using the Jenkins web
interface.
* **concurrent**:
Boolean value to set whether or not Jenkins can run this job
concurrently. Defaults to ``false``.
* **workspace**:
Path for a custom workspace. Defaults to Jenkins default
configuration.
* **quiet-period**:
Number of seconds to wait between consecutive runs of this job.
Defaults to ``0``.
* **block-downstream**:
Boolean value to set whether or not this job must block while
downstream jobs are running. Downstream jobs are determined
transitively. Defaults to ``false``.
* **block-upstream**:
Boolean value to set whether or not this job must block while
upstream jobs are running. Upstream jobs are determined
transitively. Defaults to ``false``.
* **auth-token**:
Specifies an authentication token that allows new builds to be
triggered by accessing a special predefined URL. Only those who
know the token will be able to trigger builds remotely.
