setup assisted-installer version v2.55

[danmanor]

Summary by CodeRabbit

Updates the Assisted Installer v2.55 CI configurations to use backplane-5.1 base images for assisted-test-infra and assisted-test-infra-internal.

The end-to-end subsystem and metal tests now use pipeline_skip_if_only_changed and explicitly set always_run: false. This updates how these tests respond to pipeline changes in the Assisted Installer and Assisted Installer Agent CI.
