Add 16 informing jobs to 4.23 nightly release controller config

[redhat-chai-bot]

Adds the following informing jobs to the 4.23.0-0.nightly release stream, matching the configurations present in the 4.22 nightly stream:

Metal upgrades + dualstack

• metal-ipi-ovn-upgrade (micro)
• metal-ipi-ovn-upgrade-minor (from 4.22)
• metal-ipi-upgrade-ovn-ipv6 (micro)
• metal-ipi-upgrade-ovn-ipv6-minor (from 4.22)
• metal-ipi-ovn-dualstack (base e2e)

vSphere upgrades

• vsphere-ovn-upgrade-micro
• vsphere-ovn-upgrade-minor (from 4.22)

Azure TechPreview

• azure-ovn-techpreview
• azure-ovn-techpreview-serial-1of2
• azure-ovn-techpreview-serial-2of2

GCP TechPreview

• gcp-ovn-techpreview
• gcp-ovn-techpreview-serial-1of2
• gcp-ovn-techpreview-serial-2of2

AWS SNO

• aws-ovn-single-node-upgrade-minor (from 4.22)
• aws-ovn-single-node-techpreview
• aws-ovn-single-node-techpreview-serial

All entries are optional informing jobs with no maxRetries, matching the 4.22 configuration pattern. All corresponding periodic Prow jobs already exist in the ci-operator configs.
