[JENKINS-76287] ClassCastException when using repository access strategy #1484

Description

@jenkins-infra-bot

The following error occurs when we set a repository access strategy on a github app credential:

hudson.remoting.ProxyException: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.lang.Enum (java.lang.String and java.lang.Enum are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

It seems this is a bug in

where an improper cast is done from JSONObject to Map. At best it's probably safe to say Map, but the map value has to be deserialized back to the GHPermissionType enum.

It seems this is a bug in

where an improper cast is done from JSONObject to Map<String, GHPermissionType>. At best it's probably safe to say Map<String, String>, but the map value has to be deserialized back to the GHPermissionType enum.
