What does this PR do?
Implements versioning mechanism for plugin data that is serialized to disk.
This helps to avoid deserializing data written by older versions of the plugin in a format that we do not support anymore (currently trying to do so may result in deserializing builds partially - as the result some of the data is not displayed properly in Jenkins UI).
Also, going forward it will be easy to change the data format by adding new converter versions (while ensuring the data written by older versions remains readable).
