Removes unused registry types from LANGUAGE_TO_REGISTRY_TYPE. Currently we only support private registries for Java (maven_repository), C# (nuget_feed), and Go (git_source, goproxy_server). However, the configuration in LANGUAGE_TO_REGISTRY_TYPE allows other registry types for other languages to be enabled in CodeQL workflows. This may give users the wrong impression that those types of registries are actually supported.
