When using multibranch projects or Job DSL, some Item s (usually Job or AbstractFolder) have a config.xml which is generated by some process and not intended to be editable by the user. This information is not currently available to core or other plugins (backup, etc.); it should be. Suggest something like

      public interface GeneratedItemMarker extends ExtensionPoint {
          boolean isGenerated(Item item);
      }
      

      which would be implemented by job-dsl to to check for GeneratedObjectsAction as here and by branch-api by checking whether the parent is MultiBranchProject or OrganizationFolder.
