Refactor: move PipelineConfig from Ruby to Java
Reimplement the Ruby class PipelinceConfig in Java trying to keep the method signatures to limit the changes in client code, this is a step of other that intend to move all the configuration code in Java language.
Having all that code in Java unlock some reasoning about how to better implement it and probably an improvement in performance during process startup.
Moved also the spec into a JUnit and fixed here and there the failing tests
Closes: #11824
