[DOCS] Relocate HTTP module content (#56386) (#57439)

Moves `HTTP` content from the [Modules][0] section to the
[Configuring Elasticsearch][1] section.

Supporting changes:
* Replaces `http` with `HTTP` throughout
* Replaces `HTTP module` with `HTTP layer` throughout
* Increments several headings
* Adds explicit anchors to several headings
* Removes several unneeded `[float]` attributes

Closes #53306
