What does this MR do?

This MR restructures the chart by moving the Registry Migration Job into a dedicated subchart.

Improves modularity and maintainability of the Helm chart.
Makes it easier to manage, update, and reuse the migration job independently from the main deployment.
No functional changes to the migration job itself; this is a structural improvement.
