Access SSL contexts using names instead of Settings (#30953)
Historically we have loaded SSL objects (such as SSLContext,
SSLIOSessionStrategy) by passing in the SSL settings, constructing a
new SSL configuration from those settings and then looking for a
cached object that matches those settings.

The primary issue with this approach is that it requires a fully
configured Settings object to be available any time the SSL context
needs to be loaded. If the Settings include SecureSettings (such as
passwords for keys or keystores) then this is not true, and the cached
SSL object cannot be loaded at runtime.

This commit introduces an alternative approach of naming every cached
ssl configuration, so that it is possible to load the SSL context for
a named configuration (such as "xpack.http.ssl"). This means that the
calling code does not need to have ongoing access to the secure
settings that were used to load the configuration.

This change also allows monitoring exporters to use SSL passwords
from secure settings, however an exporter that uses a secure SSL setting
(e.g. truststore.secure_password) may not have its SSL settings updated
dynamically (this is prevented by a settings validator).
Exporters without secure settings can continue to be defined and updated
dynamically.
