Ratelimiting with AWS Elastic Search as the backend #6009

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, rate limiting is supported only with the Redis instance and DynamoDB. https://docs.solo.io/gloo-edge/latest/guides/security/rate_limiting/enterprise/

However, we have requested to support AWS ElasticSearch in Gloo Mesh: https://github.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-enterprise/issues/2291

Gloo Edge Enterprise users will benefit from this implementation as well.

Summary: Add the capability to use ElasticSearch as another backend for rate limiting

Performance on DynamoDB was not great. The belief here is that AWS ElasticSearch will be much more performant. Right now it is 40ms ...

Need option that is replicated across different AWS Regions.

Want to avoid vendor lock-in to AWS service so would like to know if this is something that will work with any generic Redis-like option.

Also we rather have less accurate rate limit calculation as long as the performance hit is low.
