[INTPAK-12] Add Jenkins jobs that do Packer builds, accepting vars as key:value params vs using var-files

> $ packer build -h
> -var 'key=value' Variable for templates, can be used multiple times.
> -var-file=path JSON file containing user variables.

We currently build using a combination of OS and ODL var files, something like:

> $ packer build -var-file=vars/opendaylight-4.4.0.json -var-file=vars/fedora-24.json templates/virtualbox.json

Need to add a job that uses the other method of passing vars, as key:value pairs. Job should accept the vars as params.

Mostly done here: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/60435/

Has some failures due to changes in underlying deps. Some build types could be merged as-is. Patch should be retested, maybe any failing jobs extracted to a follow-up patch. Of course, should download boxes and verify they actually work. In particular, check that the Fedora VM boot errors documented on this Trello don't still happen.
