[Bug] Changing `role_descriptors` in `elasticstack_elasticsearch_security_api_key` forces

[Davasny]

Describe the bug
Changing value of role_descriptors forces api key replacement.
Editing api key roles via kibana doesn't change the api key value.

To Reproduce

1. Create api key with some role descriptor

resource "elasticstack_elasticsearch_security_api_key" "test" {
  name = "test"

  role_descriptors = jsonencode({
    read_only = {
      indices = [
        {
          names = ["*"],
          privileges = ["read", "view_index_metadata"]
          allow_restricted_indices = false
        }
      ]
    }
  })
}

2. terraform apply

3. Change this role to anything else, I removed view_index_metadata in the following example

resource "elasticstack_elasticsearch_security_api_key" "test" {
  name = "test"

  role_descriptors = jsonencode({
    read_only = {
      indices = [
        {
          names = ["*"],
          privileges = ["read"]
          allow_restricted_indices = false
        }
      ]
    }
  })
}

4. terraform apply will show "forces replacement"

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # elasticstack_elasticsearch_security_api_key.test must be replaced
-/+ resource "elasticstack_elasticsearch_security_api_key" "test" {
      ~ api_key              = (sensitive value)
      ~ encoded              = (sensitive value)
      ~ expiration_timestamp = 0 -> (known after apply)
      ~ id                   = "BqFsxqFzRn--CUY9V3wk7w/FlCVI5IBVbU1E1HFWlqk" -> (known after apply)
      ~ metadata             = jsonencode({}) -> (known after apply)
        name                 = "test"
      ~ role_descriptors     = jsonencode(
          ~ {
              ~ read_only = {
                  ~ indices = [
                      ~ {
                          ~ privileges               = [
                                "read",
                              - "view_index_metadata",
                            ]
                            # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)
                        },
                    ]
                }
            } # forces replacement
        )
        # (1 unchanged attribute hidden)
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy.

Expected behavior
I expect terraform module to only update role descriptor the same way as kibana does.

I have a customer with this issue.

They workaround this issue by adding the cluster = ["<cluster>"] to their code.

I couldn't reproduce this issue, though.
