Add OpenShift Tests Extension (OTE) for baremetal E2E tests

Add OTE test extension binary and migrate 6 baremetal E2E tests from
openshift-tests-private using the compat_otp library.

Changes:
- Add cmd/cluster-baremetal-tests-ext/main.go: OTE binary entry point
- Add test/e2e/baremetal/deployment_sanity.go: 6 migrated baremetal tests
- Add test/e2e/baremetal/utils.go: Helper functions using compat_otp
- Update Makefile: Add build-tests target with -mod=mod approach
- Update go.mod: Add OTE dependencies (go 1.25.0 required by origin)

OTE builds use -mod=mod flag to download dependencies to module cache
instead of vendor/, keeping this PR reviewable (5 files vs 10k+ files).
