Variables set without double quotes in environment{} cause failures, but post/success runs anyway

      Summary:
      Given a Declarative Pipeline Jenkinsfile with an environment block, if that block sets a variable without using double quotes around its value, the Pipeline will fail. This is probably just fine - however, the post/success block will run, and that seems incorrect. Also, this Pipeline will pass the CLI linter with no failures.

      Severity Justification:
      Bugged Jenkinsfiles get reported as being fine, through the linter, and via the post/success condition, even though in the end, they fail.

      Prerequisites:
      1. A remote repository (mine was on a GitHub Enterprise server), which needs nothing inside it but a Jenkinsfile.

      Steps to recreate:
      1. Create a Jenkinsfile with an environment

      { ... } block in it. Inside that environment { ... }

      block, set a variable as follows. Note that there are no double quotes around the value. The entire Jenkinsfile that I used is attached, so it can be cut/pasted in.

          environment {
              NEW_THING = ${env.BRANCH_NAME}
          }
      

      This pipeline should also have a post

      { ... } section. Mine looks like this, so that I can easily see what gets run. This is important, because part of the issue is that the success section gets run, even though the Pipeline will fail.
          post {
              always {
                  echo "ALWAYS. Runs all the time."
              }
              success {
                  echo "SUCCESS. Whatever we did, it worked. Yay!"
              }
              failure {
                  echo "FAILURE. Womp womp."
              }
          }
      


      2. Use the Jenkins CLI to validate this pipeline, as follows, while sitting on the branch where this Jenkinsfile is. Note that it is successfully validated:
      ✔ ~/Documents/CloudBees/Work/Declarative/declarative-parser-rewrite [success-runs-despite-failure|…2] 
      11:43 $ java -jar ~/bin/jenkins-cli.jar -auth admin:admin -s http://172.30.0.13:8080/  declarative-linter < Jenkinsfile 
      Jenkinsfile successfully validated.
      


      3. Push this change, and build this branch again from Jenkins. The build will fail. Sample log snippet below:
      First time build. Skipping changelog.
