CI: Refactor Jenkinsfile helpers into implicit Shared Library

[leo-amd]

Motivation

The primary mlir/utils/jenkins/Jenkinsfile has grown to over 1500 lines, with the vast majority being helper functions defined at the top. This makes the file difficult to read, maintain, and navigate.
This PR refactors all this helper logic into an implicit Shared Library stored in the vars/ directory at the repository root. This greatly simplifies the Jenkinsfile, organizes helper code by purpose, and makes the logic reusable and easier to manage.
This approach also ensures that any PRs modifying the shared library code will use the new code from that same PR for testing, rather than the one from the develop branch.

Technical Details

• Created vars/ directory: Added a new vars/ directory at the repository root. This is automatically loaded by Jenkins as an implicit library.

• Grouped Functions into Objects: All Groovy helper functions were moved from the Jenkinsfile and grouped into new "singleton" objects in the vars/ directory:

  • scmUtils.groovy: For gitHealthCheck() and robustScmCheckout().
  • nodeUtils.groovy: For resetGPUs(), checkNodeHealth(), dockerArgs(), get_gpu_architecture(), withHealthyNode(), etc.
  • buildUtils.groovy: For buildProject(), buildCK(), getAndBuildMIGraphX(), etc.
  • testUtils.groovy: For preMergeCheck(), setLitWorkerCount(), parameterSweep(), etc.
  • reportUtils.groovy: For postProcessPerfRes() and archivePerfDB().
  • ciLogic.groovy: For getLabelFromCodepath(), shouldRunFromChip(), resetBuild(), etc.
  • generalUtils.groovy: For splitConfigFile().

• Updated Jenkinsfile:

  • Removed all helper function definitions.
  • Added an instantiation block at the top to create named objects (e.g., def nodeUtils = nodeUtils(this)).
  • Updated all function calls within the pipeline block to use their new object namespace (e.g., checkNodeHealth() is now nodeUtils.checkNodeHealth()).

• Handled Global State: The global @Field DOCKER_ARGS_BY_NODE variable remains in the Jenkinsfile. The Jenkinsfile's this (script) context is passed to nodeUtils so it can read/write to this variable using script.DOCKER_ARGS_BY_NODE.

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors the Jenkinsfile by extracting reusable functions into separate utility modules in the vars/ directory. This improves code organization, maintainability, and reusability across Jenkins pipelines.

Key changes:

• Extracted utility functions from the monolithic Jenkinsfile into five modular files
• Removed the AgentOfflineException import from the main Jenkinsfile (now in nodeUtils.groovy)
• Organized functions by domain: build, CI logic, node management, reporting, SCM operations, and testing
