Globally configure Slack Webhook URL #9

It would be great if the Slack Webhook URL (which is unlikely to change from task to task) could be configured only once at some global location. Currently, everybody who sets up a new Slack task needs to know this URL which is not convenient.

I'll add support for global plugin settings and add this setting there.

@dirkschneemann I didn't remember this but GoCD task plugins don't support the global plugin settings UI so this will have to implemented some other way,

However, there is one way to achieve this functionality using the current version. You can set the webhook URL as a an environment variable in an Environment or a Pipeline. E.g. create a variable named SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL in an Environment and then use $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL as the Slack Task's Webhook URL.

It's not as convenient as a proper global setting but I hope this helps. I'll try to look at the global configuration in more detail later this weekend.

Thanks, @juhasipo , I will try this in the meantime.
