New features:

- git.remoteBranches() - Return `List` of branch names available remotely.
- git.tags() - Return `List` of all tags.
- git.changedFiles(target: ‘develop’) - Return `List` of changed files from the current branch to the `target` branch.
- git.changeBranch(‘develop’) - Change to a different branch.
- git.withBranch(‘develop’) { } - Temporarily switch to a branch and run the code inside `{ }`

See the example [job](https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/jenkins-std-lib/blob/b06359bef40ffa412314d58dbce617142fc53ced/jobs/scm/git_example.groovy)

Comments and feedback are always welcome. Will probably merge over the weekend or so.
