TRT-2908: Revert openshift/api#2986

[redhat-chai-bot]

Revert

This reverts openshift/api#2986 ("promote OSStreams feature gate to Default for Hypershift") which is breaking 5.0 CI payloads.

Root Cause

PR #2986 enables the MCC OSImageStream discovery code path in proxy-configured HostedClusters. The MCC attempts to reach container registries through a proxy that is unreachable from the management cluster, causing ignition payload generation to fatally error with unable to retrieve any OSImageStream from the configured sources.

Impact

• Failing job: hypershift-e2e-aws — TestCreateClusterProxy fails consistently (2/2 retries)
• Consecutive rejections: 3 (78+ hours without accepted payload in the 5.0 CI stream)
• Last accepted payload: 5.0.0-0.ci-2026-08-14-194839
• Only proxy-configured clusters are affected; all other HyperShift tests pass

Tracking

• Jira: TRT-2908
• Related: TRT-2909
• Investigation PR against main: openshift/api#2989

Notes

• 5.1 has the same issue
• This revert unblocks the 5.0 CI stream while the underlying issue is investigated

but we're back to this again, what the heck?

operator "cluster-capi-operator" contained an invalid image-references file: no input image tag named "aws-cluster-api-controllers"

I thought we were done with this, what is even going on? Let's try again and see if magic happens

The failing jobs are mysterious, track slack thread

But there's no indication they actually have anything to do with this PR, or that this revert is problematic... I think it may be time to just merge it.
