Creating tokens using API keys is not properly supported till elastic#80926. Previously the created token always has no previlege. Now the token has the same privilege as the API key itself (similar to user created tokens). Authenticating using the token is considered equivalent to the API key itself. Therefore the "isApiKey" check needs to be updated to cater for both authentications of API key itself and the token created by the API key. This PR updates the isApiKey check and apply it consistently to ensure the behaviour is consistent between an API key and a token created by it. The only exception is for supporting run-as. API key itself can run-as another user. But a token created by the API key cannot perform run-as (elastic#84336) similar to how user/token works.
