What does this PR do?
Fixes the wait for Fleet Server to be ready
Why is it important?
When waiting for Fleet Server to start, the Elastic Agent does not account for the timeout when waiting for Fleet Server to be ready.
Currently, when the timeout is reached, the operation isn't interrupted and the goroutine waiting for Fleet Server to be ready gets stuck in an infinite loop without any delay between iterations. It continually prints a log like:
{"log.level":"info","@timestamp":"2024-07-02T13:18:59.354Z","log.origin":{"file.name":"cmd/enroll_cmd.go","file.line":812},"message":"Waiting for Elastic Agent to start: rpc error: code = Canceled desc = context canceled","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}
.This causes a spike in memory and CPU consumption until the agent is killed by the OS, potentially jeopardising the normal operation of the host.
