[Response Ops][Task Manager] Emitting error metric when task update f…

…ails (elastic#191307)

Resolves elastic#184173

## Summary

Catches errors updating the task from the `taskStore.bulkUpdate`
function and emitting an error count so these errors are reflected in
the metrics.

## To Verify

1. Add the following to force an error when running an example rule:

+      throw SavedObjectsErrorHelpers.decorateEsUnavailableError(new Error('test'));
+    }
+
     const attributesByDocId = docs.reduce((attrsById, doc) => {
```

2. Create an `example.always-firing` rule and let it run. You should see
an error in the logs:
```
[2024-08-26T14:44:07.065-04:00][ERROR][plugins.taskManager] Task alerting:example.always-firing "80b8481d-7bfc-4d38-a31b-7a559fbe846b" failed: Error: test
```

3. Navigate to
https://localhost:5601/api/task_manager/metrics?reset=false and you
should see a framework error underneath the overall metrics and the
alerting metrics.
