WINC-2015: [hack] Run creation tests in setup-only mode

[rrasouli]

Summary

The setup-only mode in hack/run-ci-e2e-test.sh exits before running any e2e tests, including the creation tests that provision the cloud-private-key secret and Windows MachineSets. This causes the aws-e2e-ote CI job to run OTE extension tests on a cluster with zero Windows nodes, failing all 5 tests that require them.

This moves the setup-only exit to after the creation tests so that:

• WMCO is installed (existing behavior)
• TestWMCO/create runs: creates cloud-private-key secret, applies MachineSet, waits for Windows nodes
• Exit before basic, upgrade, and deletion tests (still skipped)

The subsequent OTE test step finds Ready Windows nodes on the cluster.

Summary

The setup-only mode in hack/run-ci-e2e-test.sh exits immediately after installing WMCO, skipping the creation tests that provision the cloud-private-key secret and Windows MachineSets. This causes the aws-e2e-ote CI job to run OTE extension tests on a cluster with zero Windows nodes, failing all 5 tests that require them.

This removes the early exit so setup-only runs:

• Operator validation (without secret)
• Creation tests (provisions Windows nodes)
• Skips basic, upgrade, and deletion tests (existing conditions handle this)

With -s flag, nodes persist for the subsequent OTE test step.
