test/cvo: Skip Proposal tests if the CRD is not installed

With 5687c39 (install: Drop Lightspeed CustomResourceDefinitions
(Proposal, etc.), 2026-06-24, #1412) dropping our handling of those
CRDs, we need to adjust the test harness to:

* Stop asserting the CRDs are installed (that's no longer our job)
  and...
* Make our Proposal-handling testing conditional on someone else
  (e.g. a step in a CI job's configuration) having installed the
  Proposal CRD.
