Add example of package registry public API endpoint on the deploy tokens page

Christopher Mutua requested to merge docs-cmutua-package-regsitry-public-api-example into master

What does this MR do and why?

Based on a ticket - internal only, it was not quite clear which endpoints deploy tokens work on.

The docs already mention that you can use a deploy token for HTTP authentication to the GitLab package registry public API.

In the section I've changed, it's mentioned that Deploy tokens can’t be used with the GitLab public API and can be used with some endpoints, such as those from the package registry, but it's not exactly clear which endpoints these are until you visit a page like this which provides an example of publishing to the package registry using the public registry API.

This was also made clear in an internal slack conversation - internal only

The aim of the MR is to provide an example of a format of the public registry API endpoints, in the deploy tokens page.
