Subject: [PATCH] Preserve build CONTEXT files

Save a copy of the CONTEXT file in a dedicated directory:

  /localdisk/loadbuild/jenkins/$PROJECT/
    2024-10-16_22-02-09/  # builds (no change here)
    2025-12-24_13-39-14/  # ...
    ...
    context/              # <--- this is new
      2024-10-16_22-02-09.context
      2025-12-24_13-39-14.context

This allows us to keep context files indefinitely, while being able to
delete the older build diretories to conserve disk space.
