fix(ci): disable operator-injected lightspeed plugins to fix {{inherit}} resolution (#4791)

* fix(ci): disable operator-injected lightspeed plugins to fix {{inherit}} resolution

The RHDH operator's lightspeed flavor (enabledByDefault: true) injects
lightspeed plugins from registry.access.redhat.com with {{inherit}}.
The catalog index only provides lightspeed from ghcr.io, so {{inherit}}
cannot resolve, causing InstallException in operator deployments.

Add disabled: true entries for both lightspeed plugins in values_showcase
and values_showcase-rbac. The operator merge gives priority to user
ConfigMap, so these override the flavor defaults and prevent the error.

* fix(ci): add dynamic-plugins ConfigMap to showcase-runtime operator deployment

The showcase-runtime namespace was deployed without a dynamic-plugins
ConfigMap, so the operator used only its built-in defaults (including
lightspeed with {{inherit}}). This caused install-dynamic-plugins to
fail with exit code 1, breaking all external database (Azure/RDS) tests.

Add config::create_dynamic_plugins_config call for the runtime namespace
and reference the ConfigMap in rhdh-start-runtime.yaml via
dynamicPluginsConfigMapName, matching the pattern of other operator CRs.
