Multibranch job should have an option to shorten the job/script directory

XMLWordPrintable

      Currently, default folder that multibranch jobs generate like this: le-somebranch-ASGYKAZV7Q4KRP2NV67WCQADFFGHWAQZYCPLVZ34EWIIFVJO5HWA@script 

      This will cause problem for windows user who has long path in their repositories like me. In build node, I can specify a workspace directory to checkout but in this case I can not do anything else. Because the checkout will be failed on master before it can read the Jenkinsfile.
