Periodically update container registry type settings

What does this MR do?

This is related to #204839 (closed). We want to be able to determine the type (GitLab Container Registry or a third-party one) and the version of the container registry used by a self-managed instance in order to drive future prioritization and user-experience decisions.

To do this we need to implement a periodical refresh of the stored information about the container registry in order to account for a possible change. This is implemented using a cron job which calls the UpdateContainerRegistryInfoService service. The cron job is set to run once per day at midnight.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
