AGENT-1428: Add e2e extended tests for NoRegistryClusterInstall

[pawanpinjarkar]

- What I did
Added e2e tests for the InternalReleaseImage (IRI) resource to support the NoRegistryClusterInstall feature promotion.

- How to verify it

Prerequisites:

1. Deploy an OVE (OpenShift Virtualization Environment) compact IPv4 cluster using Agent Installer for NoRegistryClusterInstall feature
2. Verify IRI resource exists.oc get internalreleaseimage

Running the tests locally:
(requires code modification) Refer #5619. Temporarily comment out line 104 exutil.InitStandardFlags() in cmd/machine-config-tests-ext/main.go

Build test binary go build ./cmd/machine-config-tests-ext/
Export kubeconfig export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig
Run IRI test suite ./machine-config-tests-ext run-suite openshift/abi/noregistry

Expected results:

• All tests from IRI test suite should pass
• Tests should skip on clusters without NoRegistryClusterInstall feature

- Description for the changelog
Add e2e tests for InternalReleaseImage resource (NoRegistryClusterInstall feature)
