Ensure type exists for all monitoring configuration (#57399)

#47711 and #47246 helped to validate that monitoring settings are
rejected at time of setting the monitoring settings. Else an invalid
monitoring setting can find it's way into the cluster state and result
in an exception thrown [1] on the cluster state application (there by
causing significant issues). Some additional monitoring settings have
been identified that can result in invalid cluster state that also
result in exceptions thrown on cluster state application.

All settings require a type of either http or local to be
applicable. When a setting is changed, the exporters are automatically
updated with the new settings. However, if the old or new settings lack
of a type setting an exception will be thrown (since exporters are
always of type 'http' or 'local'). Arguably we shouldn't blindly create
and destroy new exporters on each monitoring setting update, but the
lifecycle of the exporters is abit out the scope this PR is trying to
address.

This commit introduces a similar methodology to check for validity as
#47711 and #47246 but this time for ALL (including non-http) settings.
Monitoring settings are not useful unless there an exporter with a type
defined. The type is used as dependent setting, such that it must
exist to set the value. This ensures that when any monitoring settings
changes that they can only get added to cluster state if the type
exists. If the type exists (and the other validations pass) then the
exporters will get re-built and the cluster state remains valid.

Tests have been included to ensure that all dynamic monitoring settings
have the type as dependent settings.
