[JENKINS-52179] Wrong data mapping on serialization

FileOnMasterPrivateKeySource is serialized as DirectEntryPrivateKeySource.

To reproduce it:

1. Create new credentials of type "SSH Username with private key"


2. Fill fields with test data


3. Select "From a file on Jenkins master" for "Private Key" and fill the field with something ("/tmp/my-cert" or the like).


4. Save

Now read the credential from CLI:

```
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noKeyAuth -s http://localhost:8080/jenkins/ get-credentials-as-xml system::system::jenkins _ [your-credentials-id]

```

Output is:

```

GLOBAL
58ec63b5-92ab-4521-83b8-701fb7bd8162
test
test

```

Note the privateKeySource is com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey$DirectEntryPrivateKeySource instead of com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.sshcredentials.impl.BasicSSHUserPrivateKey$FileOnMasterPrivateKeySource

 

I've checked serialization on disk is correct.
