[JENKINS-56267] - introduce support for "dry-run" in Pipeline

[ababushk]

Yep, it is definitely good idea. Our commit history looks exactly like this :)
We're trying to use Jenkins Pipeline Unit for that, but it becomes hard to write all these registerAllowedMethod()s for complex pipelines.

Really good idea !
There could have a JENKINS_PIPELINE_RUNMODE var set at job level, (perhaps a checkbox on the job config, or an option{} to add in the pipeline), and in a stage have the possibility to do somethting like :

stage('xyz') {
  steps {
        dryRun {

        }
       normal {

      }
  }

}

Or a if is DryRun / unless is DryRun directive to add after any step.

The actual way to have Pipeline support a dry-run mode has to be discussed in the workflow-* projects, when available we could support it from jenkinsfile-runner, but for sure won't implement by ourself

We are closing GitHub issues for this repo. https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-56267 was created as a follow-up so that it might be seen by other users and Pipeline maintainers.
