[9.1](backport #45150) x-pack/filebeat/input/gcppubsub: fix integration tests

[mergify]

Proposed commit message

This PR addresses two issues in the GCP Pub/Sub input tests:

1. GCP Pub/Sub Emulator Container Missing:

Tests like TestTopicDoesNotExist were being skipped due to the missing PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable:

<testcase classname="github.com/elastic/beats/v7/x-pack/filebeat/input/gcppubsub" name="TestTopicDoesNotExist" time="0.000000">
<skipped message="=== RUN TestTopicDoesNotExist pubsub_test.go:230: PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST is not set in environment. You can start the emulator with "docker-compose up" from the _meta directory. The default address is PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8432 --- SKIP: TestTopicDoesNotExist (0.00s) "/>
</testcase>

This has been fixed by ensuring the Pub/Sub emulator Docker container is properly launched for the test environment.

2. Fix for Segfault in NewInput.func2:

A segmentation fault occurred when test code accessed in.metrics before it was initialized.

Metrics are now explicitly initialized in the test setup to avoid nil pointer dereferencing.
