Report pending and completion status to the associated VSTS commit

[olivierdagenais]

This pull request adds a Set pending status for VSTS commit or pull request build step as well as a Set completion status for VSTS commit or pull request post-build action, as shown below in my test job:

Manual testing

1. Triggered the /vsts-hook/ with a specific commit, which queued my test job.
2. As soon as the Maven build started, I went to check on the commit in VSTS. It had indeed received the "Pending" status.
3. As soon as the build completed successfully, I went to check on the commit in VSTS. It had indeed received a "Success" status and was linking back to the Jenkins job.
4. I repeated the test, this time arranging for the build to fail. VSTS indeed reported a "Failure" status, also linking back to the Jenkins job.

Mission accomplished!

Can we change "VSTS" to "Team Services" here?

Is there a way for these pre- and post-build actions to be automatic whenever TFS or Team Services is involved, so that administrators do not have to explicitly enable them per-job?

Yes, I think there’s a way and I’ve added it to the backlog.
