Issue Type: Improvement Improvement

Description:

Initially suggested by jglick when I asked about this on the developer group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/jenkinsci-dev/H8gAZcDOqgc -

The cleaner way to do this would probably be to create a delegating ExecutorService implementation whose submit and related methods capture the current SecurityContext
and then wrap the task in a block like the above. Then you could simply write:

SomeUtilityClass.wrapExecutorWithSecurity(service).submit(new Callable<Void>() {
public Void call() throws Exception { Jenkins.getInstance().getItem(whatever); // should work return null; }
});

Such a wrapper would be a welcome addition to Jenkins core, I think. Use the jenkins.security package if you want to play with a pull request, or it could be added to
hudson.security.ACL which already hosts the impersonate methods.
