Set the retention of this pipeline or release run.
Pipeline runs works with retentionleases. The lease is set per run for a number of days but the input for this task is in number of months. After this period the run is deleted.
This also protects the pipeline for being deleted.
Releases are retained with a retain indefinitely flag. The release will never be deleted. When the option 'retainbuilds' is set to true, this also set the retention for the builds to indefinitely.
