Title: Enable RAG content image builds in Prow CI (replaces #76834)

description:

Replaces

Closes #76834 (clean rebase without 17k file merge conflicts)

Summary

Enable building OpenStack Lightspeed RAG content vector database images in Prow CI, replacing GitHub Actions (6-hour timeout limitation).

Changes

Image build: Add configuration with images.items schema for rag-content-openstack
Build arguments: Configure FAISS vector DB with 2025.2 docs (CPU flavor)
Credentials: Add Vault secrets (rag-content-quay-push) for Quay.io authentication
Test structure: Use steps: format with nested test for credential support
Timeout: Set to 4 hours (reduced from 8h per reviewer feedback)
Container: Use src container (has podman/build tools)
Security: Password handling via --password-stdin file redirection
Docs build: Disabled upstream/operators docs (waiting for pre-rendered repos)
DEBUG: 1-hour sleep for pod inspection (temporary, for troubleshooting Quay push)
Workaround: Limited to Nova docs only (Neutron memcache issue)

Reviewer Feedback Implemented

All suggestions from PR #76834 addressed:

Reduced timeout from 8h to 4h (@umago)
Disabled BUILD_UPSTREAM_DOCS and BUILD_OPERATORS_DOCS (@umago)
Secure password handling with file redirection (@lpiwowar)
Converted to steps: format for credentials support
Changed container from rag-content-openstack to src
CPU-first approach (GPU consideration deferred)

Testing

Manual Quay.io push validation. Use /pj-rehearse to trigger test build.

Hi @malingatembo. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Hi @umago @lpiwowar

I've created this clean PR to replace #76834.

Why a new PR:
The original PR accumulated 17,297 files (168k+ lines) from merge conflicts after multiple upstream/main syncs. The noise made it impossible to review the actual 2-file change. Starting fresh with cherry-picked commits, cleaner..

All your feedback implemented:

Timeout reduced to 4h
BUILD_UPSTREAM_DOCS and BUILD_OPERATORS_DOCS disabled
Secure password handling (file redirection)
Steps format for credentials
***Container changed to src

Two new additions since last review:

DEBUG sleep (1 hour) - Added to allow pod exec for troubleshooting Quay push issues. Temporary, will remove once verified working.
OS_PROJECTS: nova - Temporarily limiting to Nova docs only due to Neutron memcache errors during build. Workaround for testing the full CI pipeline.

Only 2 files changed (177 lines). Ready for review. Thanks!

Switching approach: manual podman push doesn't work due to container capability restrictions. Moving to Prow's promotion mechanism instead, like volsync: https://github.com/openshift/release/blob/main/ci-operator/config/backube/volsync/backube-volsync-main.yaml#L71C1-L71C10
