cri-o/cri-o: make e2e-aws-ovn and e2e-gcp-ovn optional

[bitoku]

cri-o/cri-o e2e-{aws,gcp}-ovn Failure Report (past 30 days)

Failure rates

Job	Runs	Passed	Failed	Aborted	Failure Rate
e2e-aws-ovn	183	61	80	42	43.7%
e2e-gcp-ovn	191	51	95	45	49.7%

Retest impact (e2e-aws-ovn)

• 184 total runs across 55 PRs — 70% were retests
• Only 19/55 PRs (35%) passed on the first attempt
• Worst case: a single PR required 13 runs to get a green result

Override usage

• /override e2e-aws-ovn used in 7 PRs (4.9% of 142 PRs)
• /override e2e-gcp-ovn used in 9 PRs (6.3% of 142 PRs)

Recommendation

Mark both jobs optional: true. Nearly half of all runs fail, most PRs require multiple retests, and we are already overriding these gates regularly.
