Originally, the eligible nodes for a job were labelled only by
"swdev-docker". So basically any node could run any job. We had
found that allowing a node to run more than 1 gate at a time was
problematic so we limited the nodes to processing 1 job at a time.
With the creation of the Asterisk 17 branches however, we now have
so many active branches that getting checks and gates through in
a timely manner is problematic when a node can run only 1 job
at a time.
Now the nodes are also labelled by the job type they can run.
For instance: "asterisk-check", "asterisk-gate", etc. With the
"Throttle Concurrent Builds" plugin, we can now allow a node to
run more than 1 job BUT throttle by job type. For instance:
Allow 2 jobs but only 1 asterisk-gate at a time.
Now a node can run 2 checks or 1 check and 1 gate or 1 gate but
not 2 gates at a time.
