[JENKINS-68187] writeFile : Add the possibility to add content

[jenkins-infra-bot]

Currently when calling writeFile on an existing file, the content to write overwrites the existing content.
A boolean parameter (append ?) could be used to tell writeFile to add rather than erase. E.g.

writeFile(
     file:myLog.txt,
     text:'An additional information',
     append: true
)
