[WINC-1777] Add OTE extension binary skeleton for Windows Containers tests

Add initial OTE (OpenShift Tests Extension) binary using upstream Ginkgo
(github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2 v2.22.2) without the OpenShift fork.

Tests are registered as plain Go functions via et.ExtensionTestSpecs instead
of BuildExtensionTestSpecsFromOpenShiftGinkgoSuite(), which requires the
OpenShift Ginkgo fork's internal APIs. This keeps WMCO's go.mod clean.

Changes:
- cmd/windows-machine-config-operator-tests-ext/main.go: OTE binary with
  four suites (windows/all, windows/parallel, windows/serial, windows/storage).
  Specs registered manually; no OpenShift Ginkgo fork required.
- test/extended/winc.go: OCP-37362 as a plain Go function returning error
- test/extended/utils/cli.go: lightweight oc wrapper; AsAdmin() wired to
  --as=system:admin
- Makefile: add build-tests-ext target with mkdir -p guard
- go.mod: add openshift-tests-extension; no ginkgo fork replace directive

Verified locally:
  make build-tests-ext                             OK
  ./windows-machine-config-operator-tests-ext list 1 test listed
  ./windows-machine-config-operator-tests-ext run-test OCP-37362  PASSED
  (Azure IPI, OCP 4.20, WMCO v10.20.1)
