feat(aro-hcp): define slow jobs

[mbukatov]

Creating a slow prow periodics for a slow test suite, to get some data about actual runtime of the slow tests (which are not executed in highler environments right now). There are only 2 slow E2E tests so far:

$ ./aro-hcp-tests list tests --suite "stage/parallel/slow" | jq '.[].name'
"Customer should be able to rotate KMS key for a cluster with version >= 4.22"
"Customer should be able to update nodepool replicas and autoscaling"

Summary by CodeRabbit

Adds scheduled staging and production Prow periodic jobs for the ARO HCP slow E2E suite, enabling runtime data collection for KMS key rotation and nodepool replica/autoscaling tests.

Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR only adds periodic YAML entries; no Ginkgo test titles or test code changed, so there are no dynamic names to flag.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	PR only adds periodic YAML/job config; no Ginkgo test code changed, so the test-quality checklist is not applicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only CI periodic/job YAML changed; no Ginkgo test code or new e2e specs were added, so MicroShift compatibility isn't implicated.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	Only periodic job config changed; no Ginkgo test definitions or SNO-sensitive test logic were added.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR only adds CI periodic job definitions using an existing workflow; it doesn’t modify deployment manifests, operators, or controller scheduling logic.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PASS: PR only adds periodic YAML jobs; no process-level code, logging, or suite setup changed, so no stdout contract risk.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PASS: This PR only adds periodic job config; no Ginkgo e2e tests or network code changed, so the IPv6/disconnected compatibility check is not applicable.
