Update object storage label to support virtual registries
🫳 Context
In Maven virtual registry MVC (API only interactions) (&14137 - closed), we're working towards the first iteration of the Maven virtual registry.
This feature is part of the Category:Virtual Registry which was renamed from Category:Dependency Proxy.
Regarding object storage resources, the virtual registries are using the same resources as the dependency proxy for container images.
As such, in the object storage usage page (of a root group), we have a section for Dependency proxy. This MR updates the label of that section to include the virtual registries.

- Update the related specs.
Since virtual registries are still behind a WIP feature flag, the label change is gated behind that feature flag too.
