Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have come across instances of OpenSearch which responds with a 404 on the healthcheck endpoint causing the plugin to hit exceptions when trying to parse out a version number.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a skip_healthcheck config, which is false by default. When set to true it will not send a GET request to the healthcheck endpoint. However it will still send the HEAD request to make sure the node is alive.
To get a version number in that scenario, add another config default_server_major_version which is 2 by default denoting OpenSearch 2.x, but can be changed by the user.
Describe alternatives you've considered
