Cherry-pick of PR #18797 to 7.x branch. Original message:

What does this PR do?

Fix panic on `metricbeat test modules`

Since metricbeat light modules support processors (#15923), module
initialization requires a publisher in the beat so modules can attach
their processors. `metricbeat test modules` is not initializing as
normal metricbeat commands, and it is not initializing any output or
publisher pipeline, so metricbeat panics when trying to initialize
modules with the new method.

This change adds a dummy publisher for this case, and fixes also a
condition that was adding a `nil` module option, causing additional
panics. A test that reproduced the issue is also added.

Why is it important?

metricbeat test modules is not working with modules defined in the main configuration file.
