using Kaniko with a registry-mirror or registry-map which includes a path does not work for pulling images from DockerHub

[pinaki124]

Actual behavior
Trying to use kaniko with the registry mirror or registry-map flag, which includes a custom path for pulling images from DockerHub does not work. For example, I used an ECR registry setup with a pull through cache to DockerHub and passed as <account id>.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/docker-hub, where the custom path is docker-hub, and this was passed to the registry-mirror flag for pulling 2 DockerHub images referenced in the Dockerfile (one which existed in the default library namespace and one from a custom namespace), and both failed with the following errors:

WARN[0000] Failed to retrieve image docker-hub/alpine:3.19 from remapped registry <account id>.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com: unable to complete operation after 0 attempts, last error: GET https://<account id>.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v2/docker-hub/alpine/manifests/3.19: NAME_UNKNOWN: The repository with name 'docker-hub/alpine' does not exist in the registry with id '<account id>'. Will try with the next registry, or fallback to the original registry.

WARN[0000] Failed to retrieve image rancher/cowsay from remapped registry <account id>.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com: unable to complete operation after 0 attempts, last error: GET https://<account id>.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v2/rancher/cowsay/manifests/latest: NAME_UNKNOWN: The repository with name 'rancher/cowsay' does not exist in the registry with id '<account id>'. Will try with the next registry, or fallback to the original registry.

Expected behavior
Kaniko should be able to correctly use this mirror for pulling the images referenced in the Dockerfile, which point to DockerHub. For the alpine image it should use both the custom-path (docker-hub) and the default DockerHub namespace library when pulling the image. For the image which has its own custom namespace, it should be able to prefix just the custom path (docker-hub) when trying to pull the image.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a registry mirror on ECR or any other registry of your choice, and setup that registry to have pull through cache to DockerHub, referenced within a path of the registry.
2. Pass the registry mirror to kaniko using the registry-mirror flag as --registry-mirror <registry mirror with a custom path> or the registry-map flag as --registry-map index.docker.io=<registry mirror with a custom path>. Make sure the --skip-default-registry-fallback is also used.
3. Use this mirror to build an image using a Dockerfile which uses an image from the default library namespace of DockerHub and one from a custom namespace.

Triage Notes for the Maintainers

Description	Yes/No
Please check if this a new feature you are proposing
Please check if the build works in docker but not in kaniko
Please check if this error is seen when you use --cache flag
Please check if your dockerfile is a multistage dockerfile

I believe it will be fixed #3138
