I've been working on the Job configuration pages a bit, trying to make them 
easier to use. The goals I have for this are:

   1. NOT break form submission.
   2. NOT break plugin backward compatibility.
   3. Improve usability by visually breaking up long configurations, 
   hopefully making it easier to quickly see the sections and navigate between 
   them (Vs scrolling etc).
   4. Provide other usability tweaks where possible, but without breaking 
   anything.
   5. Make things optional, allowing people to easily switch back to the 
   "classic" Job config view.

I've been labeling the work done so far as "phase 1" because I know this 
effort might need to go through a few iterations before we get it right. 

Some resources:

   - The JIRA: JENKINS-32357 
   <https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-32357>.
   - A demo video: https://youtu.be/uOiclX_W37Q
   - A temporary PR on which to view the 
   changes: https://github.com/tfennelly/jenkins/pull/1 . Please comment here 
   though. I will be closing that PR.

Please note that this is a WiP. It's still a bit of an experiment and we 
want to know what people think of it i.e. do people believe this is an 
improvement worth pursuing more and adding to Jenkins 2.0 etc.
