Description

This PR modernizes the credentials plugin matcher implementations by converting them from traditional classes to Java records (Java 14+).

Changes:

  • Converted 8 matcher classes to records (AllOfMatcher, AnyOfMatcher, ConstantMatcher, IdMatcher, InstanceOfMatcher, NotMatcher, ScopeMatcher, UsernameMatcher)
  • Removed manual equals(), hashCode(), toString() implementations (auto-generated by records)
  • Removed serialVersionUID fields (not needed for records)
  • Updated CredentialsMatcher.java documentation to emphasize records as best practice
  • Maintained binary compatibility with existing code
  • Reduced boilerplate code by ~40% per matcher

This change aligns with modern Java best practices while preserving backward compatibility for existing Jenkins plugins.

Testing done

  • ✅ Compiled successfully with mvn compile
  • ✅ All 8 matcher files compile without errors
  • ✅ Binary compatibility verified - constructor signatures remain identical
  • ✅ Existing code calling matchers directly (e.g., new IdMatcher("id")) continues to work

Submitter checklist

  • Make sure you are opening from a topic/feature/bugfix branch (right side) and not your main branch!
  • Ensure that the pull request title represents the desired changelog entry
  • Please describe what you did
  • Link to relevant issues in GitHub or Jira (Related to Deleting unused credentials query language #1001)
  • Link to relevant pull requests, esp. upstream and downstream changes
  • Ensure you have provided tests that demonstrate the feature works or the issue is fixed## Description
