ARO HCP: pin CAPZ DEV slot-manager location

[roivaz]

The ARO HCP CAPZ DEV job acquires infrastructure through slot-manager but only sets LOCATION, which slot-manager does not consume. ARO-HCP pull request Azure/ARO-HCP#6898 changes the DEV pool to weighted region selection and requires either weighted inputs or an explicit location override.

Set MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_LOCATION=westus3 so this job remains pinned and can roll out independently without downtime. Keep LOCATION because the shared CAPZ steps still consume it directly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

The ARO HCP CAPZ DEV CI job now sets MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_LOCATION=westus3 for the slot manager. It retains LOCATION=westus3 for shared CAPZ steps. This supports weighted region selection in the DEV pool.
