(cloudberry-pxf) 06/14: Fix: stabilize base/feature automation test

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

maxyang pushed a commit to branch merge-with-upstream
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/cloudberry-pxf.git

commit 483029896080525372cce935beab5685d76e63f8
Author: huluhuifeng <10...@qq.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Nov 27 23:55:38 2025 +0800

    Fix: stabilize base/feature automation test
    
    - Add Kerberos docker entrypoint to bootstrap secure singlecluster + PXF,
    - Improve run_tests.sh env/test runner (MinIO/S3A setup, gpupgrade helpers, hooks)
    - Harden automation/regress comparisons and expected outputs to reduce noise/flakes
    - Update pxf-pre/post-gpupgrade scripts to work with Cloudberry env
