Draft: Add an offline container registry for Offline Environment (Airgapped) testing

George Koltsov requested to merge jmd-add-offline-container-registry into master

What does this MR do and why?

Part of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa/-/issues/700+

Adds a new Component::Registry which will use https://docs.docker.com/registry/ as base for hosting a container registry which can be added to an offline network.
Paired with some changes to the runner tests in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/107206+ we should expose the ability to defined a custom location to host docker containers which in this case, will allow for an offline registry.
