[org.jenkins-ci.plugins:artifactory] Passwords stored in plain text by Jenkins Artifactory Plugin

Artifactory Plugin 3.5.0 and earlier stores its Artifactory server password in plain text in the global configuration file org.jfrog.hudson.ArtifactoryBuilder.xml. This password can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Artifactory Plugin 3.6.0 now stores the Artifactory server password encrypted. This change is effective once the global configuration is saved the next time.
