Validation: Code Working as Expected.

Given this zuul definition snippet:

- job:
    name: periodic-podified-multinode-update-rhel9-osp18-crc-kpatch
    parent: periodic-podified-multinode-update-rhel9-osp18-crc
    vars:
      cifmw_update_openstack_update_kpatch: true

where we set cifmw_update_openstack_update_kpatch: true then this code correctly sets the KPATCH flag down to install_yamls:

In this test job main output job-output.txt.gz

We can see:

Then in this comment from the install_yaml PR we can see that install_yamls consumes that correctly.
