Add Node Affinity to kubevirt-test-vms Unit VMs to restrict scheduling to worker nodes

Closes #2489 (closed)

Doc issue: sylva-projects.gitlab.io#129 (closed)

This MR introduces a change to ensure that KubeVirt VMs are not scheduled on control plane nodes. This helps isolate compute workloads from critical Kubernetes infrastructure components, improving stability, performance, and security in production environments.

Updated VM manifests in kubevirt-test-vms to include the following node affinity:

spec:
  template:
    spec:
      affinity:
        nodeAffinity:
          requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
            nodeSelectorTerms:
              - matchExpressions:
                  - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane
                    operator: NotIn
                    values:
                      - "true"

Added logic so that if no worker nodes are available, the kubevirt-test-vms unit will not be enabled, preventing scheduling failures or pending VMs.

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.
