NO-ISSUE: OTA-1605 Create e2e test in CVO repo

[JianLi-RH]

In this PR, finished first e2e test case. Related case can be found in: https://polarion.engineering.redhat.com/polarion/#/project/OSE/workitem?id=OCP-42543

Tested it locally:

[jianl@jianl-thinkpadt14gen4 cvo]$ ginkgo --label-filter="42543"
Running Suite: CVO Suite - /home/jianl/1_code/cluster-version-operator/test/cvo
===============================================================================
Random Seed: 1761205561

Will run 1 of 1 specs
•

Ran 1 of 1 Specs in 1.585 seconds
SUCCESS! -- 1 Passed | 0 Failed | 0 Pending | 0 Skipped
PASS

Ginkgo ran 1 suite in 3.310067262s
Test Suite Passed
[jianl@jianl-thinkpadt14gen4 cvo]$ 

Here is the old case in openshift-tests-private: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-tests-private/blob/f1f32ff1e9eeef4cb2cb4ae6549daa9306c6616a/test/extended/ota/cvo/cvo.go#L716-L759

There is a disadvantage here when I use client-go, it seems client-go does not support all Openshift features, for example it could not extract all manifest and it although support methods to get all resource types but it could not use these types to get resources. So in these PR I don't check all manifests but check some special objects.

Another work we need to do is improve the make update command to let it can embed all tests into binary.
