Add informing verification jobs for 4.23 ppc64le nightly stream

[redhat-chai-bot]

Adds verification jobs to the 4.23.0-0.nightly-ppc64le release controller stream, modeled after the 5.0 ppc64le equivalents. Both jobs are configured as informing (optional: true) with maxRetries: 2.

Jobs added

• e2e-ppc64le → periodic-ci-openshift-multiarch-main-nightly-4.23-ocp-e2e-ovn-remote-s2s-libvirt-ppc64le
• install-analysis-all → periodic-ci-openshift-multiarch-main-nightly-4.23-install-analysis-all-ppc64le (multiJobAnalysis: true)

Changes

1. core-services/release-controller/_releases/release-ocp-4.23-ppc64le.json — populated empty verify section with both informing jobs
2. ci-operator/jobs/openshift/multiarch/openshift-multiarch-master-periodics.yaml — added ProwJob definition for install-analysis-all-ppc64le (copied from 5.0, version changed to 4.23)
3. core-services/release-controller/_releases/priv/release-ocp-4.23-ppc64le.json — generated via make release-controllers

Summary by CodeRabbit

Updates the OpenShift 4.23 ppc64le release controller configuration to add two optional verification jobs:

• e2e-ppc64le
• install-analysis-all, with multiJobAnalysis: true

Both jobs allow two retries. The regenerated release configuration includes the associated Prow job definitions and enables these checks in the 4.23.0-0.nightly-ppc64le release stream.

Walkthrough

The release configurations now define optional e2e-ppc64le and install-analysis-all verification jobs. Both jobs allow two retries and reference Prow jobs. The install-analysis job enables multi-job analysis.
