In elastic#85255, some mocking of Authentication class got replaced by randomly creating actual Authentication objects. This is a general direction we want to head towards because Authentication object has plenty internal logics which makes it hard to mock correctly (and also undesirable). The recent change in elastic#85590 adds a test helper which makes randomising Authentication object easier for tests. For ApiKeyServiceTests.testGetApiKeyMetadata, the randomisation is however too broad (broader then what the mocking provided) and can sometimes creates authentication object that does not pass the assertion. The assertion expects no API key authentication. But the randomisation can generate such one because it randomises whether the authentication has run-as even when the effective user is from a realm. Since API keys can run-as, the resulted Authentication object can be an overall API key authentication object. This PR reduces the randomness by not allow run-as so that the resulted Authentication cannot be API keys. Relates: elastic#85255 Resolves: elastic#86179

Similar to elastic#86188, the test failure elastic#86211 is caused by incorrect randomziation. In this case, the API metadata was expected to be null in some cases. This PR fixes it by ensuring the correct randomisation. Resolves: elastic#86211

In #85255, some mocking of Authentication class got replaced by randomly
creating actual Authentication objects. This is a general direction we
want to head towards because Authentication object has plenty internal
logics which makes it hard to mock correctly (and also undesirable). The
recent change in #85590 adds a test helper which makes randomising
Authentication object easier for tests.
For ApiKeyServiceTests.testGetApiKeyMetadata, the randomisation is
however too broad (broader then what the mocking provided) and can
sometimes creates authentication object that does not pass the
assertion.
The assertion expects no API key authentication. But the randomisation
can generate such one because it randomises whether the authentication
has run-as even when the effective user is from a realm. Since API keys
can run-as, the resulted Authentication object can be an overall API key
authentication object.
This PR reduces the randomness by not allow run-as so that the resulted
Authentication cannot be API keys.
