• User Story:
  As an OpenShift Engineer I want to fix the OPCT conformance workflow for platform external to set 'provider' as external to the openshift-tests so tests configured to skip in that platform will be ignored in the execution, preventing scheduling known failures cases.

Description:

The openshift-tests-plugin must:

• detect the running cluster is platform type External. See case eval: https://github.com/redhat-openshift-ecosystem/provider-certification-plugins/blob/main/openshift-tests-plugin/plugin/platform.sh#L127 
• implement the function to set the flag --provider to the openshift tests. See example for AWS: https://github.com/redhat-openshift-ecosystem/provider-certification-plugins/blob/main/openshift-tests-plugin/plugin/platform.sh#L66-L87
• Create an image (then release) of OPCT plugin
• Install OCP cluster with platform type External
• Run plugin image override in CLI
• Check the logs of conformance step logs if the openshift-tests sets the provider=external
• check if the sample test is skipped, example  SPLAT-2090  : prefix " [sig-network] LoadBalancers [Feature:LoadBalancer] should be able to preserve UDP traffic when server pod cycles for a LoadBalancer service on"

Acceptance Criteria:
< Record how we'll know we're done >
