Enable OKD workload in CI with OpenShift CAPI provider v0.3.4

What does this MR do and why?

This MR enables deployment of OKD workload clusters in CI using the OpenShift CAPI provider v0.3.4. It introduces support for heterogeneous cluster configurations, allowing management and workload clusters to use different bootstrap providers (e.g., RKE2 for management, OKD for workload).

Problem

Current CI pipelines do not support:

• Mixed bootstrap provider combinations (e.g., RKE2 management cluster with OKD workload cluster)
• Scenarios where OS images are supplied externally
• Workflows that require skipping cluster updates

Solution

• Adds support for the rke2|okd bootstrap provider combination
• Introduces the na OS option to accommodate externally provisioned OS images
• Implements a no-update deployment scenario to bypass cluster updates in CI
• Configures a dedicated CI pipeline for OKD workload validation:
  • ☁️capm3 🚀rke2|okd 🎬no-update 🐧ubuntu|na

Test coverage

• Successful execution of the new CI pipeline:
  • no-update pipeline: Deploys OKD workload without updates
• Pipeline matrix now covers:
  • Infrastructure: capm3
  • Bootstrap: rke2|okd
  • Node OS: ubuntu|na
  • Deployment option: okd-wkld (auto-added by pipeline generation script)

Global config for deployment pipelines

• autorun pipelines
• allow failure on pipelines
• record sylvactl events

Notes:

• Enabling autorun will make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction
• Disabling allow failure will make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success.
• if both autorun and allow failure are disabled, deployment pipelines will need manual triggering but will be blocking the pipeline

Be aware: after configuration change, pipeline is not triggered automatically. Please run it manually (by clicking the run pipeline button in Pipelines tab) or push new code.
