Would be nice to have option to set GCP template instead of setting all required variables in plugin configuration.

       

      If template would be used only some options would be set in jenkins (like labels and timeouts)

       

      That would allow to moving most of configuration related to instance into GCP where could be automatised using terraform or similar tools.

       

      That would also allow to set some options that are now not available thru plugins like extra labels, use custom instances, or adding local SSD discs, or any other option that will be added to GCP. 

      And if done correctly would simplify plugin a lot.

          [JENKINS-53000] Add support for GCP templates

          This is going to be really useful.

          In particular I am looking to using local SSD, which seems a perfect match with short-lived preemptive slaves which does a lot of local I/O. And it definitely makes sense to add it through template.

          I'm the new maintainer of the plugin, and it has taken some time for me to get up to speed. Please be patient as we do our best to improve the plugin!  We anticipate Windows capability being merged soon.
