[CI] Reduce the ITCase coverage in Flink to avoid 60min timeout

[Guosmilesmile]

Description

Problem

The lake stage in CI (defined in ci-template.yaml) ran 6 sub-modules sequentially in a single Maven command:

Sub-module	Duration
fluss-lake (parent)	~0 min
fluss-lake-paimon	~5 min
fluss-lake-iceberg	~5 min
fluss-lake-lance	~1 min
fluss-flink-1.19	~24 min
fluss-flink-1.18	~23 min
Total	~60 min

This consistently triggered the step-level timeout-minutes: 60 limit, causing the job to fail with:

Error: The action 'Test' has timed out after 60 minutes.

Solution

Reduce the ITCase coverage on the backward-compatibility Flink versions (1.18 and 1.19) to a 6-test smoke subset that covers the essential read/write paths. The full test suite continues to run on the representative version (fluss-flink-common, aligned to Flink 1.20 and 2.2).

similar to #3273.

@luoyuxia Thanks for pointing out. I made some change based on the suggestions from your issue.

Reduce the ITCase coverage on the backward-compatibility Flink versions (1.18 and 1.19) to a 6-test smoke subset that covers the essential read/write paths. The full test suite continues to run on the representative version (fluss-flink-common, aligned to Flink 1.20 and 2.2).

Kept (smoke) vs. skipped

ITCase	1.18	1.19	Rationale
TableSourceITCase	✅	✅	Core streaming read
TableSinkITCase	✅	✅	Core streaming write
CatalogITCase	✅	✅	DDL operations (high API churn area)
ChangelogVirtualTableITCase	✅	✅	Changelog read path
BinlogVirtualTableITCase	❌	❌	Binlog read path
TableSourceBatchITCase	❌	❌	Batch read path
TableSourceFailOverITCase	❌	❌	Failover — tested on repr. version
UndoRecoveryITCase	❌	❌	Undo recovery — tested on repr. version

@Guosmilesmile This PR is very useful, but seems the flink/spark3/spark3-scala213 still last about nearly 1 hour, i guess we need to optimize them too.

[Guosmilesmile]

Flink Common run in 1.20 version, we also run 1.20 in full test-coverage. So reduce the ITCase coverage for 1.20 align with 1.18 and 1.19 reduce cost time for flink module.

Regarding the Spark part, I would prefer to address it in the next PR. Let's focus on handling the Flink part for now.

Thanks, that makes sense. If you don't have the bandwidth, I'd be happy to take it and open a spark related PR. Would that be okay with you?

Sure, go ahead. That'd be great, thanks!
