Description

We have some automation that cancels ongoing Jenkins runs for PRs when a new commit is pushed. For example, https://ci-beam.apache.org/job/beam_PreCommit_Java_Commit/20052/ was aborted when
https://ci-beam.apache.org/job/beam_PreCommit_Java_Commit/20053/ started.

When this happens the cancelled job says:

11:00:49 Build was aborted
11:00:49 Aborted by unknown
11:00:49 Recording test results

It would be nice if the job canceller identified itself, rather than showing up as unknown.
