coordination #34333: [functional][y][epic] More test scenarios covering installation on existing partition layouts

Description

User Story

Right now we format the DASD on which the system is going to be installed before we start the installation.
Except in one case (ext4), where we set FORMAT_DASD_YAST to trigger the formatting during installation
This ticket is about adding two new testcases to be more explicit on this
This PR is about being able to set different values for FORMAT_DASD_YAST -> https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/4978

Acceptance Criteria

AC1: FORMAT_DASD_YAST setting is not used in existing ext4 testsuite to be more consistent compared to other installation scenarios
AC2: explicit testsuite formats DASD during installation is enabled for SLE12 and SLE15
AC3: explicit testsuite which will not format the DASD at all for SLE12 and SLE15

Suggestion

We might need to find a better naming for this variable and values, e.g. FORMAT_DASD_YAST may have 3 possible values for each of scenarios defined.

Current obstacles: FULL_LVM_ENCRYPT variable is required to handle encrypted boot partition. Additionally, HDD_1 setting must be undef in child job, as no qcow is created and published on zVM. New test suite will fix the issue, as we anyway need special WORKER_CLASS.

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/merge_requests/91 should get merged, after that we will be able to create test suite setups.

waiting for PR to be merged to reuse cryptlvm test suite for zVM as well.

Latest finding is that it's not possible to guarantee that 2 test suites will be executed one after another if there is no dedicated worked which is not used for anything else. Considering implementing part where we partition disk and encrypt partitions to see that it works.
