Add mechanism to initialize YAML tests against a subset of test cases (#95095)

This commit adds the ability to initialize YAML rest test suites against
a subset of available test cases. Previously, the only way to do this is
via the `tests.rest.suite` system property, but that can only be set at
the test _task_ level. Configuring this at the test _class_ level means
that we can support having multiple test suite classes that execute
subsets of tests within a project. That allows for things like
parallelization, or having different test cluster setups for different
YAML tests within the same project.

For example:

```java
    @ParametersFactory
    public static Iterable<Object[]> parameters() throws Exception {
        return ESClientYamlSuiteTestCase.createParameters(new String[] { "analysis-common", "indices.analyze" });
    }
```

The above example would mean that only tests in the `analysis-common`
and `indices.analyze` directories would be included in this suite.

 The YAML REST tests support all the options provided by the randomized runner, plus the following:
 
-* `tests.rest.suite`: comma separated paths of the test suites to be run
-(by default loaded from /rest-api-spec/test). It is possible to run only a subset
-of the tests providing a sub-folder or even a single yaml file (the default
-/rest-api-spec/test prefix is optional when files are loaded from classpath)
-e.g. -Dtests.rest.suite=index,get,create/10_with_id
 * `tests.rest.blacklist`: comma separated globs that identify tests that are
 blacklisted and need to be skipped
 e.g. -Dtests.rest.blacklist=index/*/Index document,get/10_basic/*
