[Test] Use version range for elasticsearch-java (#127510) (#127707)

Snapshot builds of elasticsearch-java are no longer available.
Using the current major highest version should be safe according to the
compatibility guarantees described on https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-java?tab=readme-ov-file#compatibility

Additionally, reorganize Maven repository configuration in build.gradle
Repo https://snapshots.elastic.co/maven/ is no longer needed in a
composite build. Previously it was only used to provide snapshot version
 of `elasticsearch-java` client which is no longer available in snapshot
  version. We keep the https://snapshots.elastic.co/maven/ repo to be
  used when for non-composite builds when any other dependencies
  snapshot versions can be fetched.
