Fix microshift step registry to not depend on job's build_root

[jianzhangbjz]

To address openshift/operator-framework-olm#1236 (comment)

ERRO[2026-02-25T02:44:13Z] Failed to load arguments.                     error=[tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.pre[3].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing `build_root`), tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.pre[4].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing `build_root`), tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.pre[5].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing `build_root`), tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.post[1].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing `build_root`)]

Summary

• Replace from: root with from_image in 9 microshift step registry refs to make them portable across different repositories
• Update ci_get_clonerefs() function to use uname -m instead of go env GOARCH for architecture detection

Problem

Microshift workflows fail when used in Pull Request Payload Qualification (PRPQ) jobs against other repositories (e.g., operator-framework-olm). The error occurs
because:

  ERRO Failed to load arguments. error=[
    tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.pre[3].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing build_root),
    tests[e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance].steps.pre[4].from: unknown image "root" (configuration is missing build_root),
    ...
  ]

Steps using from: root require the job's build_root configuration, which may not exist or be compatible when the workflow is executed in a different repository
context.

Solution

1. Changed all microshift step refs from from: root to from_image with a fixed image reference (openshift/release:rhel-9-release-golang-1.22-openshift-4.18),
   consistent with the existing openshift-microshift-infra-sos-aws step pattern.

2. Updated ci_get_clonerefs() to detect architecture using uname -m instead of go env GOARCH, removing the Go dependency for this function.
