Rewrite the build history widget

[janfaracik]

This PR implements the changes discussed https://community.jenkins.io/t/revamped-build-history-widget/10944. In essence it's a rewrite/redesign of the build history widget. The goal is to be cleaner and simpler, whilst still retaining existing functionality and density.

Before

After

What's changed

• The JS has been rewritten and does away with a lot of the complicated layout logic in favour of CSS flex/grid.
• A new card component has been added (with the intention of replacing the existing widget component) that supports inline actions
• Builds now group by date, keeping the UI simpler/easier to read
• RSS feed has been moved to a dropdown, rather than a fixed button row
• Build overflow menus are now always present on the right of the link

What doesn't work

• ✅ ~Pagination controls are always visible at the moment~
• ✅ ~The list doesn't auto refresh at the moment~
• ✅ ~Items with long names/lots of actions don't scale very well~

Testing done

• See https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/9148#issuecomment-2053640530 for a view of the scenarios tested
  • Normal scenarios work as expected (e.g. short build names, one or two badges)
  • Queued items look as expected
  • Items with plain text/HTML descriptions work as expected
  • Items with long names/lots of badges wrap as expected

Proposed changelog entries

• Update the design of the build history widget

Proposed upgrade guidelines

### Submitter checklist
- [x] The Jira issue, if it exists, is well-described.
- [x] The changelog entries and upgrade guidelines are appropriate for the audience affected by the change (users or developers, depending on the change) and are in the imperative mood (see [examples](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/blob/master/content/_data/changelogs/weekly.yml)). Fill in the **Proposed upgrade guidelines** section only if there are breaking changes or changes that may require extra steps from users during upgrade.
- [x] There is automated testing or an explanation as to why this change has no tests.
- [x] New public classes, fields, and methods are annotated with `@Restricted` or have `@since TODO` Javadocs, as appropriate.
- [x] New deprecations are annotated with `@Deprecated(since = "TODO")` or `@Deprecated(forRemoval = true, since = "TODO")`, if applicable.
- [x] New or substantially changed JavaScript is not defined inline and does not call `eval` to ease future introduction of Content Security Policy (CSP) directives (see [documentation](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/security/csp/)).
- [x] For dependency updates, there are links to external changelogs and, if possible, full differentials.
- [x] For new APIs and extension points, there is a link to at least one consumer.

Desired reviewers

@jenkinsci/sig-ux

Before the changes are marked as ready-for-merge:

### Maintainer checklist
- [ ] There are at least two (2) approvals for the pull request and no outstanding requests for change.
- [ ] Conversations in the pull request are over, or it is explicit that a reviewer is not blocking the change.
- [ ] Changelog entries in the pull request title and/or **Proposed changelog entries** are accurate, human-readable, and in the imperative mood.
- [ ] Proper changelog labels are set so that the changelog can be generated automatically.
- [ ] If the change needs additional upgrade steps from users, the `upgrade-guide-needed` label is set and there is a **Proposed upgrade guidelines** section in the pull request title (see [example](https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/4387)).
- [ ] If it would make sense to backport the change to LTS, a Jira issue must exist, be a _Bug_ or _Improvement_, and be labeled as `lts-candidate` to be considered (see [query](https://issues.jenkins.io/issues/?filter=12146)).

can you add before screenshots too please

How does this look when a build has a display name? How does it look when a build has many badges? Just an example how this looks currently:

It's okay but could be better - I think moving the badges onto a new row when its incredibly long would improve it.

[mawinter69]

What made the previous implementation so big was the logic to find a suitable way to arrange all the things. See #9122 for my PR that changed they calculation to be more efficient.

Getting ReferenceError: "fetch" is not defined. (http://localhost:42617/jenkins/static/8bd93229/jsbundles/pages/project/builds-card.js#52) in tests - have you experienced this before @timja?

Updated it to handle a ton of badges/long text - there's a lot of combinations so I might have missed something.

No blockers from a security perspective.

However, I've noticed that the search filter doesn't seem to work properly. It takes quite long or never finishes.

StaticRoutingDecisionProviderTest#test_objectCustom_withStandardWhitelist is passing locally but not on CI - wondering if this is actually an issue of this PR?

[mawinter69]

The collapse arrow is no longer there. tbh I have never used it so I'm not missing it but don't know what others are thinking about it.

StaticRoutingDecisionProviderTest#test_objectCustom_withStandardWhitelist is passing locally but not on CI - wondering if this is actually an issue of this PR?

I can reproduce it locally by running the entire test class, not just the one test. This is a result of concurrent test execution within the same class. I was unaware we were doing this, is this new?

[daniel-beck]

OK then I'll dig further, my System.err based diagnostic probably wasn't good enough :)

[daniel-beck]

Running the entire class, I get this after modifying the test to not rely on @Before and changing the URL to be guaranteed not routable:

@timja Thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?

Its being loaded by build history ajax somehow.

[daniel-beck]

Nice find. Web client reuse seems sus and unnecessary, I'm looking into cleaning that up, hoping this goes away with that.

Making JenkinsRule a @ClassRule probably speeds tests up considerably, would need to look into whether that decision was documented.

Yeah, 3 sec ClassRule, 11 sec Rule

nice build passes now, cheers Daniel

Looks good now

Some minor thought:

• the navigation buttons are at the bottom. so when I want to look at later builds I need to scroll down first

Here a screenshot with some badges:

[timja]

Badges can overflow the box:

May not be realistic but is it fixable without too much effort?

Its normal for pagination to be at the bottom, I think this should be fine

[mawinter69]

I'm not able to reproduce the badge overflowing, but having many badges with icons from Badge plugin leads to the icons getting very small. Probably also an issue with the badge plugin itself. But ideally the badges would start flowing in the next row.

Seems with the refactoring of the badge plugin things do indeed overflow.
