fix: do not let _resolve/cluster hang if remote is unresponsive (#119516) (#119527)

* fix: do not let `_resolve/cluster` hang if remote is unresponsive

Previously, `_resolve/cluster` would wait for a response from a remote
as part of the connection strategy. If the remote were to be
unresponsive, this API would wait until `netty` would terminate the
connection with a handshake exception. The threshold for terminating the
connection is `10s`. This means that the API would wait for `10s` before
determining that the remote is unresponsive. This strategy is now
replaced with a fail fast where a response is sent back to the user
immediately rather than waiting for a connection termination.
