feat: use top-level key for repo type instead of type field

Replace the flat `remotes:` map (with `type: "remote"/"virtual"/"local"`) with
separate top-level sections — `remote:`, `virtual:`, `local:` — so the repo
type is declared structurally and the `type:` field is no longer needed.

Config loader normalises the new format to the existing internal representation
(injecting `type` into each remote dict), so all handler code is unchanged.
Adds a TestYamlTypeKeys suite covering all three type keys, mixed files, and
field preservation. Includes README migration guide for splitting a single
remotes file into per-type-and-package conf.d files.
