Add a default 'User-Agent' HTTP header

[sethmlarson]

Summary

Add a default User-Agent HTTP header to requests made to Elasticsearch through the JavaScript Elasticsearch client. This field will be used to detect requests made by the client on behalf of Kibana from requests actually originating from the elasticsearch-js client.

Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/136581

For maintainers

• [x] This was checked for breaking API changes and was labeled appropriately

However, this may be too complex for a contribution coming from outside of the team, so we could also do that as a follow-up, wdyt @rudolf ?

I agree an integration test would be good to have and that that's something we could own doing as well 👍

[sethmlarson]

Thanks for reviews, I'll continue fixing tests. Agree an integration test would be lovely, will that be added in a separate PR or to this one? Happy to have this branch modified just let me know :)

[pgayvallet]

will that be added in a separate PR or to this one?

Likely in a follow-up, I'm not sure we have the capacity right now to work on this branch/PR
