Description

### Release version

v5.1.1

### Question Details

Our APIM solely uses self-hosted gateways and thus does not require every API to be assigned to the "Managed" gateway.
However, even though the API is only assigned to a specific self-hosted gateway, the "Managed" gateway is still getting assigned to it.

I added a "Managed" gateway into the `gateways` directory and set the APIs to an empty array.
However, this only works when not using the commit id during publishing, as the Managed gateway file is not changed when I add a new API.

How is this supposed to be handled?

### Expected behavior

"Managed" gateway is not assigned whenever I assign it to some custom gateways.

### Actual behavior

"Managed" gateway is always assigned to new APIs.

### Reproduction Steps

Create a fresh API and assign it to a custom gateway (not the "Managed" one)

Folder structure:
![image](https://github.com/Azure/apiops/assets/5477981/1ddd911f-3f70-4ce3-b516-3c573d7bd840)

Content of `gateways/self-hosted/apis.json`
```
[
{
"name": "my-new-api"
}
]
```

Content of `gateways/Managed/apis.json`
```
[]
```

Since the `gateways/Managed/apis.json` has not been touched/changed during the commit, the publisher does not update the Managed gateway assignment, so the new API is actually having both the "Managed" and "self-hosted" gateways assigned to it.
