Fix https_batch deadlock due to golang timer changes

[nicklas-dohrn]

What is changed:

This changes the way the syslog batches are triggered.
The new implementation no longer uses Timers that need to be reset and checked, it just ticks once every second per http_batch drain to send a batch at least once a second.
The new logic is as follows:

• If there is a log present in the queue, send it at last one second later with every log from the same second.
• If there are more logs in one second than the 'batchSize' allows, send the batch immediately

The problem fixed by this change:

The old implementation was able to deadlock itself due to the way the time channel was reset. There are even more changes to this behaviour to be expected by the golang 1.23 update. (https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.23#timer-changes)
-> Changed logic necessary to prevent further issues on further golang upgrades

Impact:

The new implementation will tick more often, but the overhead will be pretty minimal, due to not doing anything for empty drains.

@ctlong can you check please

@nicklas-dohrn Thanks for the fix. Please take a look at the linting errors. There is no error checking after the sendHttpRequest call.

Can you write a failing test for the old logic that works for the new logic?

[nicklas-dohrn]

I am currently in the process to rewrite the tests anyway, but I will make sure to have a test that proves the point, that the old implementation deadlocks/hangs in certain scenarios.

[nicklas-dohrn]

This change now contains a test case, that will not work with the old timer based implementation.
I added a test configurable defaultTime for the ticker, to keep test cases shorter than I would need with 1 second intervalls.
