[release-4.21] OCPBUGS-94114: support Parents field on origin test suites

[bshaw7]

Summary

Backport of origin#31261 (Parents field fix for openshift/conformance suite) to release-4.21.

Same change as the 4.22 backport PR #31270.

What it does

• Adds Parents []string field to TestSuite struct
• Adds mergeParentQualifiers() function for transitive qualifier propagation
• Makes openshift/conformance/parallel and openshift/conformance/serial children of openshift/conformance
• Removes hardcoded qualifier from parent so it inherits from children

Without this fix, openshift/conformance on 4.21 only picks up ~740 tests.
With this fix, it correctly aggregates ~4000+ tests from child suites.

Testing

• Validated on master (origin#31261): conformance-validated showed 4700 tests
• Validated on 4.22 (origin#31270): conformance-validated showed 4688 tests
• Same diff applies cleanly to 4.21
