Jenkins Role Strategy UI enhancer

##Context

The Role Strategy Plugin allows to Jenkins Adminsitrator to handle users' permissions with a role based mecahism.

The plugin's UI was not initial design to support a large set of users/roles. As detailled in the Jenkins Jira Ticket JENKINS-8075, the role assignation can be quickly a nightmare.

Since there is no scheduled released of this plugins for the coming months, I searched a temporal workaround.

##Solution

Basically, I searched a way to display the table cell coordinates (column/row headers) in a tooltip when the user's mouse will be over that cell.

Greasemonkey is a well-known Firefox/Chrome extension which permits to develop Javascript to customize the Web pages behaviors.

So, I developed the jenkins-role-strategy-ui-enhancer.js script to enhance the Role Strategy's UI. The script will display a tooltip when the mouse is over the checkbox.
