Use latest setting value when initializing setting watch (#134091)

When new cluster settings are applied, consumers watchings are notified.
The consumer should see the latest value at the time of initializing a
watch. However, only the node settings were ever used in finding the
value to initialize the consumer. This commit fixes the consumer to use
the value from latest applied if it exists.

closes #133701
