Remaining plugins upgraded last week. I've brought up [a new agent](https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/computer/C3jenkins/) (it's running on the current AWX server as it had lots of capacity) to offload jobs which were running...

Follow-on task to clear up the number of credentials in use on the jenkins server. Being tracked in this (restricted access) document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TwslGkCcfYsJjZeWTJNR3G2_SywgqBgnwe54Zm5gkA0/edit#gid=0

NOTE: Jenkins pipeline issue that required `-Dhudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true` is covered in https://github.com/adoptium/ci-jenkins-pipelines/issues/313

Upgrading today to latest LTS - 2.346.1 This version supports running on JDK17 so we have edited the configuration to run with `Temurin-17.0.3+7`

Hmmm it would be good to be 100% certain that this doesn't occur on RHEL7/RHEL8 so we'd need to run some Grinders on that. We should also bear in mind...
