OCPBUGS-77281: Add exception for GCE CSI driver images

[jsafrane]

GCE does not support ppc64le nor s390x, so they don't publish driver images for these platforms.
We get this image transitively via Kubernetes that runs the driver to test GCE integrations. We don't run these e2e tests in OCP.

Just document the exception. see openshift/release#76171 for the effective exception.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Documented architecture-specific container image availability limitations, noting that certain images are unavailable on specific processor architectures due to upstream support constraints.
