This PR changes the language-based registry configuration filtering logic in the start-proxy action to always enable git_source registries since git_source registries are useful outside of language-specific contexts.

Pull request overview

This PR updates start-proxy’s registry-credential filtering so that git_source registries are always enabled, even when credentials are otherwise filtered by language. This aligns with the stated goal that git_source registries can be used by generic workflow components (not only language-specific ones).

Changes:

  • Introduce an “always enabled” registry-type allowlist (currently git_source) and apply it during language-based filtering.
  • Adjust registry-credential tests to cover the new always-enabled behavior.

// Filter credentials based on language if specified. `type` is the registry type.
// E.g., "maven_feed" for Java/Kotlin, "nuget_repository" for C#.
// We always allow types in `ALWAYS_ENABLED_REGISTRY_TYPE` since they can be used by
// other parts of the workflow.
