[Nfd-dev] Jenkins slave resiliency

[Junxiao Shi]

20180402 NFD call discussed this issue.

Beichuan reveals that Ashiq is going to take over Jenkins in May 2018.
During the transition, he is going to learn how to deploy macOS slaves, and
then he can start swapping nodes to be more resilient.

There were also concerns about the Jenkins master being deployed at only
one site, but there isn't a good solution yet.
