GCP cluster profile uses ipi-gcp flow which by default uses 6 vCPUs for compute machines (see step-registry/ipi/conf/gcp/ipi-conf-ref.yaml).The performance profile suites configures a profile with reserved: "0" and isolated: "1-3" (see openshift/cluster-node-tuning-operator#909), unless environment vars are specificed. In general this is the good practice to include all node's cpus in the PP cpu section, but reason why we need this now is that we have some new tests that requires most the cpus to be all distributed using PP (see openshift/cluster-node-tuning-operator#1432 (comment)).

In this commit we start updating only the affected job on which the test would run, later we will need to add this setting to all other jobs that consume ipi-gcp cluster configuration.
Note: this is subject to change should the CPU specifications on GCP get modified.

The rehearsal must-gather shows the new values of cpus are in affect:

cpu:
    isolated: 1-5
    reserved: "0"

true, that is not worse than the situation that was before because before this update PP has been configured with inproper CPU set, now at least if CPUs changed there is a higher (than ever but small) chance to catch it earlier.
