New jobs in Jenkins should be built immediately

Originally created by @bertagaz on #9741 (Redmine)

When someone pushes a new branch, its job is now added in Jenkins, but new jobs are not build immediately. A build is then triggered either by a timer or by a new push.

So if a developer created a new branch, worked on it and then only pushed her first commit, her changes won’t get tested directly.

To workaround that, a developer can still push her new branch right after branching from the original branch, which would add the job, then work on it and push, so that she has her fist changes on the branch built immediately. This should at least be documented in the contribute section of the website.

But it might be good to find a way to have new jobs built as soon as they are added to Jenkins.
