Jira Workfront Integration

Add an option in the add-on configuration to specify an endpoint URL different than the Jira base URL. Workfront would then use the endpoint URL rather than the base URL for communicating to Jira.

Current situation:

The Jira base URL is used by Workfront to contact the api endpoints for the workfront integration. However, the base URL may follow specific authentication flows which are not supported (e.g.: Azure Application Proxy).

Wanted situation:

Workfront uses a specific endpoint URL which bypasses the authentication flows completely, which it retrieves from the add-on configuration section in the jira admin console. The URL would also point to the Jira installation, exactly like the Jira base url, but would not pass the authentication methods specific to users.
