Add support of Remoting connections to masters without Web UI

    • Remoting 3.34

      Currently Remoting agents always require Jenkins master to have a Tcp Agent Listener endpoint. It complicates usage of Remoting with CloudAPI-provided agents together with Jenkinsfile Runner which does not have a fixed Web UI port.

      I propose to add new options to Remoting so that it can connect without polling metadata from the master

          We're running Jenkinsfile Runner on a Kubernetes cluster and use the Kubernetes plugin to dynamically spawn new agents. JNLP connections to the master failed and as a quick workaround, we've opened the HTTP port of the Jenkinsfile Runner. Changing Remoting for this is of course the cleaner solution.

          oleg_nenashev Any idea when you will continue working on this topic?
