Update Control Plane replica validation for Single Node OpenShift

Installer can be used to provision Single Node OpenShift(SNO) only
for AWS/GCP/Azure.
SNO is not supported on all on-prem platforms yet. Even on the
platforms that support SNO installs, the install method currently
supported are assisted/agent/ZTP.
