Credential types

[cs278]

I'm trying to configure the GitHub plugin using Puppet as part of that I need to provide a credential for the API token which requires a 'secret text' credential, currently this is not possible using this module.

Would it not be better to add a defined type for each kind of credential rather than one cluttered type?

Also jenkins::credentials really should be jenkins::credential, seems there is a PR to address this #311.

I am also trying to configure a plain text credential to store a GitHub token in it and there is no such option. It would be useful.

@cs278 @georgemihalcea I am actively using/contributing to the github-oauth plugin. I have posted a PR that provides two new types jenkins_security_realm/ jenkins_authorization_strategy that do support configuring this plugin. #382 I wouldn't suggest trying it "in production" but it may be worth testing.
