Container image virtual registry: manage APIs (registries and upstreams)

🗒️ Problem statement

In virtual registries, we usually have two set of APIs:

1. APIs to manage the virtual registry objects. This issue deals with this part.
2. APIs for the clients, $ docker, so that they can pull files through the virtual registry.

NOTE:

• Cache entries API endpoints are in #569403 (closed)
• Registry upstreams API endpoints are in #573284
