[JENKINS-67633] Cannot use an environment variable like ${REGISTRY} as part of the docker registry name any more

Until now we had a parametrized name of our internal Docker registry configured in the Jenkins main config. We used an environment variable like ${REGISTRY} which was evaluated/expanded properly.

However, after updating the Docker Commons and Docker Workflow plugins to their current latest versions, this is no longer supported.

The workaround that worked is to just hardcode the Docker registry name instead.
