Describe the bug

Inside the testsuite's K8sUtils.java, the createCurlContainer method creates a new pod, referencing a particular image coordinate (curlimages/curl:8.1.2) that does not specify an image registry. This, by deprecated convention, implicitly means to use DockerHub as the registry for the image. There are two problems with this:

1. Kubernetes systems that have fully deprecated the old convention (such as OpenShift Container Platform 4.21) now refuse to accept image coordinates that do not specify a registry.
2. DockerHub frequently applies rate limiting that can cause test failures for no reason.

Replacing this image coordinate with quay.io/curl/curl:8.1.2 would resolve these problems, while providing the same image that the tests depend on.

Version

main

Regression

• The issue is a regression

Expected behavior

Test cases relying on the createCurlContainer method should work on OCP 4.21

Actual behavior

Test cases relying on the createCurlContainer method fail to start due to OCP refusing to accept an unqualified image coordinate.

How to Reproduce?

Run the testsuite with OCP 4.21
