Move expensive role building off transport thread (#113020)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This PR moves role building off the transport thread to the generic
thread pool, since role building can be expensive depending on role
structure. 

Role building is CPU bound so this PR uses a `ThrottledTaskRunner` to
limit the number of concurrent requests. I will explore adding a max
queue limit in a follow up. 

Resolves: ES-9505
