Refactor test infrastructure and consolidate test utilities

Modernize the test infrastructure by consolidating test helpers into a
shared testutil package and enhancing connection reliability:

- Move test utilities from internal/test to opensearchutil/testutil for
  broader reusability across the project and external packages
- Remove obsolete internal/test/config.go in favor of improved helper
  functions with better error handling and connection management
- Add dynamic field filtering for JSON comparison tests to handle
  version-specific and environment-dependent OpenSearch responses
- Enhance connection robustness with improved readiness checks and
  health monitoring in opensearchtransport layer
- Update all integration tests across opensearchapi, plugins, and
  transport packages to use the new unified test infrastructure
- Add comprehensive documentation and examples for the new test utilities

This refactor provides a more maintainable foundation for testing across
different OpenSearch versions and environments while reducing code
duplication and improving test reliability.

-// Package ostest provides OpenSearch testing utilities and infrastructure.
-// Integration-specific functionality is available only when building with integration tags.
+// Package ostest provides internal integration test utilities for the OpenSearch Go client.
+//
+// This package contains complex test orchestration, OpenSearch-specific utilities,
+// and internal integration test helpers. It builds upon the basic utilities
+// provided by opensearchutil/testutil but adds OpenSearch-aware functionality.
+//
+// # Design Principles
+//
+// Functions in this package follow the same design principles as testutil:
+//   - MUST take `t *testing.T` as the first parameter when applicable
+//   - MUST call `t.Helper()` as the first statement for test helpers
+//   - SHOULD delegate to testutil for basic utilities rather than duplicating them
+//
+// # When to Add Functions Here
+//
+// Add functions to this package when:
+//   - The utility requires complex OpenSearch cluster orchestration
+//   - The functionality is specific to internal integration testing
+//   - The utility needs to perform readiness checks or cluster health validation
+//   - The functionality involves OpenSearch version-specific logic
+//   - The utility is only needed by internal test packages
+//
+// # Key Functionality
+//
+// This package provides:
+//   - NewClient() - Creates OpenSearch clients with automatic readiness checking
+//   - Cluster health and readiness validation
+//   - JSON comparison utilities for response validation
+//   - OpenSearchTestSuite for structured test organization
+//   - Version-specific test utilities and skip logic
+//   - Complex client configuration scenarios
+//
+// # Relationship to opensearchutil/testutil
+//
+// This package imports and uses opensearchutil/testutil for basic utilities:
+//   - Uses testutil.ClientConfig(t) for basic client configuration
+//   - Uses testutil.IsSecure(t) for security checks
+//   - Uses testutil.GetPassword(t) for authentication
+//   - Provides enhanced functionality on top of these basics
+//
+// Basic utilities should be added to testutil, while OpenSearch-specific
+// orchestration should be added here.
+//
+// # Examples
+//
+//	// Create client with automatic readiness checking
+//	client, err := ostest.NewClient(t)
+//	require.NoError(t, err)
+//
+//	// Use test suite with version checking
+//	type MyTestSuite struct {
+//		ostest.OpenSearchTestSuite
+//	}
+//
+//	func (s *MyTestSuite) TestFeature() {
+//		s.SkipIfBelowVersion(2, 4, "FeatureName")
+//		// test implementation
+//	}
+//
+//	// Validate JSON response completeness
+//	ostest.CompareRawJSONwithParsedJSON(t, resp, resp.Inspect().Response)
