[Task]: Stop using GCR in Beam

[tvalentyn]

What needs to happen?

GCR is deprecated in favor of Google Artifact registry. We use GCR in some integration tests, such as Python ValidatesContainer test, and possibly a few other other places. At some point, GCR might disallow pushing new images.

I looked at some failing ValidatesContainer tests as part of 2.56.0 release validation. I saw tests that exercise prebuilding workflow using the local_docker mode failing: logs said image was pushed, but Dataflow couldn't pull image from GCR. Errors like this wouldn't be investigated sine GCR is deprecated and we should switch to AR.
