insights-operator: remove unused built image from variant configs

[petr-muller]

The periodics variant configs do not need to contain images stanza (unless something in the jobs themselves needs the built image). The periodics are configured to install/update to releases.latest unmodified, but the jobs will still build the image from whatever the corresponding branch HEAD at the trigger time. This takes time, a bit of compute and also causes a redundant -images job to exist. None of this is necessary.

#72630 should go first (and then this needs to be updated for 4.22 stuff)
