Release 1.3.1 (major features/fixes)

@15490 - Check for empty param values. JENKINS-29943

@15430 - Trap User Abort and stop Perforce. Uses the ‘tick’ function on Progress to check if the Thread has been interrupted. If a user aborts the build then the Perforce connection is dropped at the next tick. JENKINS-26650

@15419 - Updates README with 'change' vs 'P4_CHANGELIST' issue

@15403 - Perforce triggered polling BETA. Perforce triggers on a change-submit and sends a POST to the endpoint http://${JENKINS}/p4/change with the data: payload={"change":"12345","p4port":"localhost:1666"}. Note: ‘change’ is not used (yet).

@15394 - Workflow-DSL functionality. Tested workflow DSL against 1.596.1 older functionality tested against 1.580.1 @sven_erik_knop
