Disable TEST_STEP_RUN_HISTORY

I set the option as advised, printing the content of the file in a pre-build step in jenkins:

+ more /var/jenkins_home/.readyapi/system.properties
::::::::::::::
/var/jenkins_home/.readyapi/system.properties
::::::::::::::
test.history.disabled=true

Unfortunately, this doesn't prevent the messages from being added to the log:

Please note there is no local ready-api installation present on this jenkins slave, we're using ready-api maven-plugin. Maybe there's an option to pass in pom.xml? Or is there anything else I can try to get rid of the messages (around 300 per job)?
