rosstimothy fa3bb9ac59 Ensure that the webclient closes connections (#22832)
The `http.Client.Transport` created in `newWebClient` wraps a
chain of `http.RoundTripper` over an underlying `http.Transport`.
Since we cannot guarantee that each `http.RoundTipper` has a
`CloseIdleConnections` method the usage of
`defer clt.CloseIdleConnections()` does not guarantee that the http
connections created during Find/Ping/etc are closed.

To prevent leaking connections implementations of `http.RoundTripper`
have added a `CloseIdleConnections` method added that forwards the
request on to the wrapped interface. The `otelhttp.Transport` does
not implement this method either so care has been taken to wrap it
in a `http.RoundTripper` which will call the root transport in
`enforceCloseIdleConnections`. An upstream issue has been filed
with otelhttp: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/issues/3543
to get the method added to their `Transport` implementation.

This wasn't noticed prior to upgrading to go1.20 becuase prior to
[this](https://github.com/golang/go/commit/4e7e7ae1406c70d9cc0809ec11105a55a60a0b70)
commit the `ReadHeaderTimeout` set on the Proxy web api http.Server
would cause the connection to appear idle and get terminated by the
server.

`TestWebClientClosesIdleConnections` was added to capture the leak
in connections as reported in #22757 and prevent any regressions.
