[JENKINS-76236] Test Connection in GitHupp App credentials should also use the access strategy

[jenkins-infra-bot]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure a GitHub App credential in Jenkins
2. In Advanced, set ''Specify specific repositories'' and an invalid owner
   1. invalid -> the org or user doesn't have the App installed
3. Test Connection with blank or a valid org/user

Expected Results

The Credential check should honor the access strategy and fail

Root Cause

Test Connection is only using the provided ''GitHub organization to test against'' as owner of the check, reporting a misleading success.
