This change updates our version of httpclient to version 4.5.8, which
contains the fix for HTTPCLIENT-1968, which is a bug where the client
started re-writing paths that contained encoded reserved characters
with their unreserved form.
The apache commons http client implementations recently released
versions that solve TLS compatibility issues with the new TLS engine
that supports TLSv1.3 with JDK 11. This change updates our code to
use these versions since JDK 11 is a supported JDK and we should
allow the use of TLSv1.3.
Transitive dependencies can be confusing and hard to deal with when
conflicts arise between them. This change removes transitive
dependencies from elasticsearch, and forces any dependency conflicts to
be resolved manually, instead of automatically by gradle.
