Pre-populate unicast hosts files (#35136)
Today when ESIntegTestCase starts some nodes it writes out the unicast hosts
files each time a node starts its transport service. This does mean that a
number of nodes can start and perform their first pinging round without any
unicast hosts which, if the timing is unlucky and a lot of nodes are all
started at the same time, can lead to a split brain as in #35052.

Prior to #33554 this was unlikely to happen since the MockUncasedHostsProvider
would always have yielded the existing hosts, so the timing would have to have
been implausibly unlucky. Since #33554, however, it's more likely because the
race occurs between the start of the first round of pinging and the writing of
the unicast hosts file. It is realistic that new nodes will be configured with
the existing nodes from startup, so this change reinstates that behaviour.

Closes #35052.
