Simplify DBB user build wizard, by hiding fields containing values that don't need to be filled each time

DBB user build asks questions that are relevant to set up the user build, but these questions don't need to be in the developer's face at each user build session (on the same file or on different file). Some fields could be handled as configuration options that should be set elsewhere: not in the wizard.

(1) build script to use : on our system it will be a remote file and it will always be the same one. DBB samples lean toward having a single script as an entry point.

(2) encoding to use : on our system there's a single encoding for all files.

(3) build sandbox : there's a single sandbox for each developer.

(4) location to store logs: same as sandbox

(5) build destination HLQ : same as sandbox

(6) team HLQ : this relates to the jenkins build, and we expect users to perform user build related to the development jenkins build: it will be the same most of the time.

In the end all of these options make the user build frightening for a developer. Most of these options should be captured once, for example in Eclipse preferences. Some options could be displayed by the wizard, but as information about how the build is going to be configured (aka : user build will build in this location, using this encoding and this script.
