If I have a pipeline with a lot of stages

* run unit tests
* run smoke tests
* run quick ATH
* run slow ATH
* deploy to staging
* run UAT
* run even more tests

If anything sets the build result to anything other than SUCCESS in one of the stages (e.g. unit test failures and junit plugin -> UNSTABLE) then I do not want to run the subsequent tests.

Currently I have to remebmer remember to put the following on every stage - which is cumbersome and error prone.

{noformat}
when { expression { currentBuild.result == null } }
{noformat}

It would be useful if there was a config option like {{skipSubsequentStagesWhenNotSucessfull : true}} at the top level which could be overridden by a stage if needed (e.g. a final reporter stage...)

Obviously the configuration name above is bad - but just for example...
