[Response Ops][Task Manager] Setting background task utilization wind…

…ow based on poll interval (#203481)

## Summary

Setting a desired window length (15 seconds) for the background task
utilization window running average and calcuating the number of entries
to average based on the poll interval. Updating config to be optional so
this value can still be configured but if not configured will be
calculated.

## To Verify

- Add a console log to log the window size

- Start Kibana with `mget` claim strategy. The window size should be 30
- Start Kibana with `update_by_query` claim strategy. The window size
should be 5
- Set `xpack.task_manager.worker_utilization_running_average_window: 22`
in your Kibana config and start Kibana. The window size should be 22
(takes the configured window size if it's passed in).
