[CI] SearchableSnapshotActionIT and LifecycleLicenseIT failures

[ywangd]

Build scan:

• https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/gmdfxe22ipgea
• https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/7m3cdjksuekuo

Repro line:
There are 6 tests failures:

• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.LifecycleLicenseIT testCreatePolicyUsingActionAndNonCompliantLicense
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.actions.SearchableSnapshotActionIT testRestoredIndexManagedByLocalPolicySkipsIllegalActions
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.actions.SearchableSnapshotActionIT testSearchableSnapshotAction
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.LifecycleLicenseIT testSearchableSnapshotActionErrorsOnInvalidLicense
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.LifecycleLicenseIT testSearchableSnapshotActionErrorsOnInvalidLicense
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.actions.SearchableSnapshotActionIT testSearchableSnapshotForceMergesIndexToOneSegment
• org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.actions.SearchableSnapshotActionIT testUpdatePolicyToAddPhasesYieldsInvalidActionsToBeSkipped

One of the repro lines is:

./gradlew ':x-pack:plugin:ilm:qa:multi-node:javaRestTest' --tests "org.elasticsearch.xpack.ilm.actions.SearchableSnapshotActionIT.testSearchableSnapshotForceMergesIndexToOneSegment" -Dtests.seed=878411CEEF5FC37D -Dtests.security.manager=true -Dbuild.snapshot=false -Dtests.jvm.argline="-Dbuild.snapshot=false" -Dtests.locale=bg-BG -Dtests.timezone=America/St_Vincent -Druntime.java=8

Note because this is a release test, -Dlicense.key=x-pack/license-tools/src/test/resources/public.key needs to be added to the above repro line for it to work.

Reproduces locally?:
Not with 10 runs.

Applicable branches:
master and 7.x. But the failures seem only to be only applicable to release-tests. I wonder whether it could a similar issue to #59157, where the tests failed because they started while license was still being generated and installed.

Failure history:

It started failing at 2020.11.26.

Failure excerpt:
