OCPQE-31108:add disconnected environment support with custom prow job for migrated qe cases

[kuiwang02]

if you expect your migrated case to support disc, follow this PR. thanks

Summary

This PR adds disconnected environment support for migrated OLMv1 QE test cases by implementing environment validation and removing the [Skipped:Disconnected] label.

Changes

Test Cases Enhanced (8 cases now support disconnected)

All cases had [Skipped:Disconnected] removed from their test names.

New Helper Functions (helper.go)

1. IsProxyCluster(oc *exutil.CLI) bool

   • Detects proxy clusters by checking proxy.config.openshift.io/v1 status
   • Single API call optimization (checks both httpProxy and httpsProxy)
   • Skips test if proxy status cannot be determined

2. ValidateAccessEnvironment(oc *exutil.CLI)

   • Validates environment configuration before running disconnected-supporting tests
   • Three-tier detection: Proxy → Connected → Disconnected
   • Proxy clusters: Returns immediately (no validation needed)
   • Connected clusters: Returns after quick network check
   • Disconnected clusters: Validates ImageTagMirrorSet image-policy-aosqe exists
   • Skips test with clear message if ITMS missing in disconnected environment

3. HasExternalNetworkAccess() enhancement

   • Changed behavior when master node unavailable: now skips test instead of assuming connected
   • Prevents incorrect environment assumptions

Documentation Updates (README.md)

• Added "Disconnected Environment Support for Migrated QE cases" section
• Added image requirements (quay.io/openshifttest or quay.io/olmqe only)
• Documented three cluster types (Proxy/Connected/Disconnected)

Testing

All modified test cases now call olmv1util.ValidateAccessEnvironment(oc) at the beginning to ensure:

• Tests skip gracefully if disconnected environment lacks proper ITMS configuration
• Zero performance impact on connected/proxy clusters
• Clear skip messages when environment is misconfigured

Dependencies

Requires IDMS/ITMS mirror configuration in disconnected environments:

• ImageDigestMirrorSet for digest-based image references
• ImageTagMirrorSet image-policy-aosqe for tag-based bundle images
