Fix hardcoded API type in DevPortal publishing and ensure correct type during API creation

Problem

The prepareAPIMetadata function in platform-api/src/internal/service/devportal_service.go currently hardcodes the API type to "REST" when building metadata for DevPortal publishing. This causes APIs of other types (GraphQL, WebSocket, etc.) to be published with the wrong type, which may lead to incorrect behavior in the DevPortal.

Scope

This issue should address two related concerns:

1. Fix the hardcoded API type in publishing: The prepareAPIMetadata function should use the actual API type from the API object and only fall back to "REST" when the type is empty or not specified.

2. Ensure correct API type during creation: Verify that the API type is correctly set and validated during API creation to prevent incorrect types from being stored in the first place.
