Add test for elasticsearch re-connection after network error & allow …

…graceful shutdown (#40794)

This commit reworks the `eslegclient.Connection` to accept a context in its `Connect` method, this allows the caller to cancel any in flight requests made by the connection by cancelling the context.

The libbeat `outputs.Connectable` interface (used by `outputs.NetworkClient`) had to be updated to accept the context, which required refactoring in most of the outputs to also accept a context on connect.

The worker from libbeat/publisher/pipeline/client_worker.go now uses a context for it's cancellation instead of a channel,
this context is also used when creating a connection to Elasticsearch.

An integration test is added to ensure the
ES output can always recover from network errors.
