buildkite: add ES container env vars to reduce KB/ES test flake #594

Description

@JoshMock

Opened alongside the KB functional-test suite. Unlike the other issues, this does not unblock any skipped definition; it reduces intermittent CI flake. .buildkite/run-kb-tests.sh and run-es-tests.sh omit two ES env vars that elastic/elasticsearch-js/.buildkite/run-elasticsearch.sh sets to avoid CI noise and outbound network calls.

Add to both ES docker run invocations:

--env "ingest.geoip.downloader.enabled=false"
--env "cluster.deprecation_indexing.enabled=false"

Verify ES logs show no geoip-downloader retries; suite behavior is otherwise unchanged.

Failing test definitions: none directly — this addresses flake across the KB/ES suites rather than a specific failing definition.
