The pull request updates assisted test infrastructure images from backplane-5.0 to backplane-5.1. It also changes selected end-to-end test filters to use pipeline_skip_if_only_changed with always_run: false.

Changes

Assisted test configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update assisted test infrastructure images ci-operator/config/openshift/assisted-image-service/..., ci-operator/config/openshift/assisted-installer-agent/..., ci-operator/config/openshift/assisted-installer/...	The assisted test infrastructure images now use the backplane-5.1 tag.
Adjust end-to-end test execution filters ci-operator/config/openshift/assisted-installer-agent/..., ci-operator/config/openshift/assisted-installer/...	The affected tests now set always_run: false and use pipeline_skip_if_only_changed with the existing path patterns.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this change because it is a small assisted-installer test-configuration update limited to base-image references and pipeline test filters.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2ee94

This updates assisted test infrastructure images to backplane-5.1 and refines when selected end-to-end tests run. The supplied configuration assessment found no current merge-blocking risk.
