Allow appending to the PATH in environment sections

Issue Type:	Improvement
Assignee:	Andrew Bayer
Components:	pipeline-model-definition-plugin
Created:	2017/Feb/23 2:11 PM
Labels:	declarative pipeline
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Conor Nevin

You should be able to append to the path in the environment sections of a pipeline. Scripted pipelines support this through PATH+WHATEVER syntax in the `withEnv` step.

Attempting to use PATH = "$

{PATH}

:..." at a top level results in this error being thrown "groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: PATH", and attempting to use PATH+WHATEVER results in "(PATH + GO) is a binary expression, but it should be a variable expression"

Re: Allow appending to the PATH in environment sections

Hmmmmmm. Good question. PATH+WHATEVER definitely won't work as something to set, and PATH isn't yet available at the time we're processing the environment, so we need some way to let you get to PATH+WHATEVER...
