Subject: [PATCH] fix: match credential type names with substring search
 (AAP-81333)

The credential type dropdown sent name=<term>, which used istartswith
and missed types such as "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform" when
users searched for "Ansible". Use icontains so the filter matches
anywhere in the name.
