Remove tools extracted to ci-tools-standalone

[jmguzik]

The following tools have been moved to the ci-tools-standalone repository and are removed from this codebase:

• backport-verifier
• ci-scheduling-webhook
• determinize-peribolos
• gpu-scheduling-webhook
• helpdesk-faq
• pipeline-controller
• pr-reminder
• publicize
• retester

This also removes:

• images/ Dockerfiles for all tools above (except retester which had none)
• pkg/retester which was exclusively used by cmd/retester

pkg/helpdesk-faq is retained as it is still used by pkg/slack/events/helpdesk.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

This repository is configured in: automatic mode

✅ Passed checks (14 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title 'Remove tools extracted to ci-tools-standalone' clearly summarizes the main change: deletion of multiple tools that were moved to a separate repository.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Go Error Handling	✅ Passed	PR consists exclusively of file deletions with no new Go code additions, so no error handling patterns exist to evaluate.
Test Coverage For New Features	✅ Passed	PR removes extracted tools without introducing new functionality, so custom check requiring test coverage for new features does not apply.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR removes tools and associated code without introducing new test files or Ginkgo tests with dynamic information.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	Custom check for Ginkgo test code quality is not applicable; this PR only removes migrated code with no test changes.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This pull request removes previously existing tools and their associated code; it does not add any new Ginkgo e2e tests.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR contains only deletions of previously existing code and tests; no new Ginkgo e2e tests are being added.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR removes tools and code without adding scheduling constraints or topology assumptions, so the Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility check is not applicable.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR removes 9 tools that are Kubernetes webhooks, HTTP services, and Prow plugins—none are OTE binaries.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR contains only deletions of existing code, tools, and tests—no new Ginkgo e2e tests are added.
