Preserve REST client auth despite 401 response (#30558)

The default behaviour for Apache HTTP client is to mimic the standard
browser behaviour of clearing the authentication cache (for a given
host) if that host responds with 401.
This behaviour is appropriate in a interactive browser environment
where the user is given the opportunity to provide alternative
credentials, but it is not the preferred behaviour for the ES REST
client.

X-Pack may respond with a 401 status if a request is made before the
node/cluster has recovered sufficient state to know how to handle the
provided authentication credentials - for example the security index
need to be recovered before we can authenticate native users.
In these cases the correct behaviour is to retry with the same
credentials (rather than discarding those credentials).

/**
* An {@link org.apache.http.client.AuthenticationStrategy} implementation that does <em>not</em> perform
* any special handling if authentication fails.
* The default handler in Apache HTTP client mimics standard browser behaviour of clearing authentication
* credentials if it receives a 401 response from the server. While this can be useful for browser, it is
* rarely the desired behaviour with the Elasticsearch REST API.
* If the code using the REST client has configured credentials for the REST API, then we can and should
* assume that this is intentional, and those credentials represent the best possible authentication
* mechanism to the Elasticsearch node.
* If we receive a 401 status, a probably cause is that the authentication mechanism in place was unable
* to perform the requisite password checks (the node has not yet recovered its state, or an external
* authentication provider was unavailable).
* If this occurs, then the desired behaviour is for the Rest client to retry with the same credentials
* (rather than trying with no credentials, or expecting the calling code to provide alternate credentials).
