NO-ISSUE: Run full e2e suite in TechPreview CI via script symlinks

[perdasilva]

Analysis / Root cause:
The TechPreview CI scripts (test-prow-e2e-techpreview.sh and
test-prow-playwright-e2e-techpreview.sh) are currently stubs that run nothing.

Solution description:
Replace both stub scripts with symlinks to their base equivalents
(test-prow-e2e.sh and test-prow-playwright-e2e.sh) so TechPreview CI runs
the full e2e suite. Individual tests that are incompatible with TechPreview
clusters will be adjusted or skipped directly in the test code as a follow-up.

Screenshots / screen recording:
N/A — CI script change only.

Test setup:
N/A

Test cases:

• TechPreview CI jobs should now execute the full Cypress and Playwright suites
  rather than exiting immediately.

Browser conformance:
N/A — no UI changes.

Additional info:
N/A

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	❌ Error	The new symlinked TechPreview entrypoints run shared scripts that set -x while assigning BRIDGE_BASE_ADDRESS, so bash will log the console URL/internal hostname.	Mask or disable xtrace around the BRIDGE_BASE_ADDRESS assignment (or redact it) before routing TechPreview CI to these scripts.
Title check	⚠️ Warning	The title describes the change, but it is not prefixed with a valid Jira issue key as required by the repository template.	Rename it to start with a Jira key such as CONSOLE-1234, then keep the concise change summary.

Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	No Ginkgo e2e specs were added or modified; the PR only swaps TechPreview CI stubs for symlinks to existing scripts.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	No Ginkgo e2e tests were added or modified; this PR only changes CI shell entrypoints, so the SNO test check is not applicable.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only two TechPreview CI shell scripts changed to symlinks; no deployment manifests, operators, or controllers were modified.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR only adds .worktrees to .gitignore and replaces two stub shell scripts with symlinks; no process-level stdout writes were introduced.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only CI symlink changes; no new Ginkgo tests or network logic were added, so the IPv6/disconnected compatibility check isn't applicable.
