[JENKINS-9905] Expose new env var containing job name without build axis information appended

On https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+software+project, section entitled "Jenkins Set Environment Variables" there is a list of useful env vars which I can pick up in my build scripts.

When you use a "multi-configuration project" the JOB_NAME, depending on your build axis names, gets resolved to something like:

JOB_NAME=projectName/COMPILER=CL,CONFIG=Debug,PLATFORM=Win32

Can you expose a new env var which just contains the project name without all the build axis information?

In my setup I have "Copy files into the job's workspace before building" enabled and my "Files to copy" field contains:

jobs/projectName/builds/${BUILD_ID}/changelog.xml

Obviously I'd like to replace "projectName" with the new env var - this would help me maintain a growing number of projects.
