Issue body

The docs say: > You must specify at least the source key. The source-type key is optional, but recommended, as it is used to specify how the source should be handled. But it doesn't say what are the possible values that `source-type` can have. --- *Reported from: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/charmcraft/stable/common/craft-parts/reference/plugins/dump_plugin/*
