OCI deployment is not creating any HosPathProvisioner CR so the component is not deployed. This is fine as this is not a mandatory component in openshift Virtualization solution. However, this is affecting both IUO and Observability tests:

• tests.install_upgrade_operators.daemonset.test_daemonset_params.test_no_new_cnv_daemonset_added expects that the daemonSet "hostpath-provisioner-csi" is present and fails if it is not there.
• tests.observability.runbook_url.test_runbook_url.test_runbook_upstream_urls[prometheus-hpp-rules] shouldn't run.
• tests.observability.runbook_url.test_runbook_url.test_runbook_downstream_urls[prometheus-hpp-rules] shouldn't run.
• "test_no_new_prometheus_rules is expecting prometheus-hpp-rules" is expected to be listd as a prometheusrule but it's not there.

Thi story is for adding code in the test automation to check if HostPathProvisioner CR is defined and skip/adapt the checks so the HPP validations take place only when needed.
