move part of qe cases in openshift-tests-private to cvo

[jiajliu]

To start with OTE, this pr is to make e2e tests included in cvo repo and executed with OTE (only picking up parallel cases as a small set for exploration).

• Add initTest for test initialization in OTE
• Move cvo’s cases which can be executed in parallel from openshift-tests-private repository to cvo
• Copy required utils and resolve dependencies

Test result locally:
