Remove seeds depedency for remote cluster settings (#52796)

Currently 3 remote cluster settings (ping interval, skip unavailable,
and compression) have a dependency on the seeds setting being
comfigured. With proxy mode, it is now possible that these settings the
seeds setting has not been configured. This commit removes this
dependency and adds new validation for these settings.
