Allow successful Cloud pak for application installation or show proper error message when OpenShift pipeline operator is installed

CP4App v 4.1 fails to install if an existing OCP cluster has already OpenShift Pipelines Operator 1.0.1 (provided by Red Hat) installed. Moreover the logs can clearly mention the failure reason as a possible operator version conflict and resolution as uninstall existing operator. This might happen for other version conflicted operators as well.
