[Fuego] Eliminating the usage of jenkins-cli.jar in ftc script

Tim,

While we were looking at eliminating the usage of jenkins-cli.jar in the
ftc script, we came across create_job() API in the Jenkins Python module
which can be used to create jobs in Jenkins, thus eliminating the usage of
jenkins-cli.jar in the ftc script.

The below patch works for job creation in Jenkins through ftc script. We
shall get back to you on ways to programmatically update other job
properties.
