Convert repository plugins to modules (#81870)
Closes #81652.

Convert the `repository-azure`, `repository-gcs` and `repository-s3`
plugins into modules, so that they are always included in the
Elasticsearch distribution. Also change plugin installation, removal
and syncing so that attempting to add or remove these plugins still
succeeds but is now a no-op.
