Description

Based on INFRA-13477 it sounds like we need to start working on eliminating unnecessary build jobs of combining some of them. I emailed the dev mailing list but didn't hear back after 5 days, so I am proceeding with these changes:

1. We don't need to run cross tests on both debian andon ubuntu, especially since we're using a dockerfile that's practically identical between the two; one derives from the other. I'd like to recommend removing build jobs #2 and #4 (debian) and keeping the ubuntu ones.
2. Given we remove debian build jobs #2 and #4 above, we can keep #10 which is a Debian build job with cmake, and eliminate #9 which is the same as #10 but on Ubuntu. I think it is adqeuately covered in other jobs.
3. We don't need to build the matrix of (boost threads, std threads)x(gcc,clang). Let's get rid of #12 which is boost threads with clang, and let's get rid of #15 which is std threads with gcc.
4. Add missing compiler plug-in builds for autoconf and clang.
