Pull request overview
This PR backports a fix from the main branch to address flaky Update-Help tests for the PackageManagement module on Linux. The issue was that tests tagged as "Feature" were failing intermittently, and the previous fix (PR #26796) marked the wrong tests as pending. This change targets specifically the PackageManagement module on Linux, which has intermittent connectivity issues.
Changes:
- Modified conditional logic to mark
PackageManagementmodule tests as pending specifically on Linux systems - Removed the blanket
-MarkAsPendingparameter from "CI" tagged tests, allowing them to run normally while still protecting against known flaky behavior

Impact
REQUIRED: Choose either Tooling Impact or Customer Impact (or both). At least one checkbox must be selected.
Tooling Impact
Fixes CI failures by skipping flaky Update-Help tests for PackageManagement module on Linux. This prevents false negatives in CI runs on release branches.
Customer Impact
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
Verified with successful CI run (linked in original PR) showing tests now pass properly by correctly skipping the problematic PackageManagement tests on Linux
Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
Only changes test files to skip flaky tests. No production code changes, minimal risk of unintended side effects. Improves CI reliability.
