Adding job name, project name, and other job specific information

Often, for logging or error messaging purposes it is required to capture information about the job, such as the job name or the project name.

Three common values that can be used in a job are shown in the following table:

Job version	jobVersion
Job name	jobName
Talend project name	projectName

Talend also stores a host of other variables, such as parent and child process IDs that can be easily found by opening an empty job and inspecting the Java code.
