NO-JIRA: Restore daily cron for 5.0 powervc and powervs-capi jobs

[Neha-dot-Yadav]

PR #82853 disabled the following jobs by setting cron to '0 0 1 1 *'
(once a year) due to 0% overall pass rate over 3 months:

• nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervc-multi-p-p
• nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervs-capi-multi-p-p

However, the 0% reflects testcase failures, not installation failures.
Installation was passing in 12/13 recent PowerVC runs and 9/15 PowerVS
runs. The overall job result is marked FAILURE when TCs fail, which
caused the bot to incorrectly treat these as fully broken jobs.

Restore original schedules:

• powervc: 0 12 * * * (daily at 12:00 UTC)
• powervs-capi: 0 9,21 * * * (twice daily at 09:00 and 21:00 UTC)"

Summary by CodeRabbit

Restores scheduled execution for two OpenShift 5.0 multi-architecture OVN end-to-end jobs:

• nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervc-multi-p-p: daily at 12:00 UTC.
• nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervs-capi-multi-p-p: daily at 09:00 and 21:00 UTC.

These schedules re-enable coverage for PowerVC and PowerVS installation validation.

[REHEARSALNOTIFIER]
@Neha-dot-Yadav: the pj-rehearse plugin accommodates running rehearsal tests for the changes in this PR. Expand 'Interacting with pj-rehearse' for usage details. The following rehearsable tests have been affected by this change:

Test name	Repo	Type	Reason
periodic-ci-openshift-multiarch-main-nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervs-capi-multi-p-p	N/A	periodic	Ci-operator config changed

The following jobs are not rehearsable without the network-access-rehearsals-ok, and approved labels present on this PR. This is due to the restrict_network_access field being set to false. The network-access-rehearsals-ok label can be added by any openshift org member other than the PR's author by commenting: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed:

Test name
periodic-ci-openshift-multiarch-main-nightly-5.0-ocp-e2e-ovn-powervc-multi-p-p

Prior to this PR being merged, you will need to either run and acknowledge or opt to skip these rehearsals.

Interacting with pj-rehearse

Comment: /pj-rehearse to run up to 5 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse skip to opt-out of rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse {test-name}, with each test separated by a space, to run one or more specific rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse more to run up to 10 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse max to run up to 25 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse auto-ack to run up to 5 rehearsals, and add the rehearsals-ack label on success
Comment: /pj-rehearse list to get an up-to-date list of affected jobs
Comment: /pj-rehearse abort to abort all active rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed to allow rehearsals of tests that have the restrict_network_access field set to false. This must be executed by an openshift org member who is not the PR author

Once you are satisfied with the results of the rehearsals, comment: /pj-rehearse ack to unblock merge. When the rehearsals-ack label is present on your PR, merge will no longer be blocked by rehearsals.
If you would like the rehearsals-ack label removed, comment: /pj-rehearse reject to re-block merging.
