When inference module is loaded and remote clusters use API key-based authentication, cross-cluster searches with ccs_minimize_roundtrips=false fail because GetInferenceFieldsAction was executed as internal user _xpack, which is rejected by CrossClusterAccessTransportInterceptor. Fix: - Use system context (SystemUser) for remote inference field requests, following CCR's pattern in CcrLicenseChecker.systemClient() - Add GetInferenceFieldsAction to cross_cluster_search privilege
RCS 1.0 (certificate-based auth) enforces local SystemPrivilege checks, unlike RCS 2.0 which bypasses them for system context. Add the action to allow inference CCS query rewrite with both authentication modes. Also rename test role to avoid conflict with existing remote_search role.

Makes GetInferenceFieldsAction an indices action dependent on the indices read permission. This allows the action to be executed by users with read access to the indices queried. --------- Co-authored-by: Elliot Barlas <elliot.barlas@elastic.co> (cherry picked from commit b7e695c) # Conflicts: # server/src/main/resources/transport/upper_bounds/9.4.csv
