Some mqtt brokers do not allow long client IDs.
To make it compatible with this limitation, this commit
tries to limit the number of bytes under 23 with a best-effort
attempt to derive it from the bridge name.

Several bridges should be able to share a connector pool defined by a
single connector. The connectors should be possible to enable and
disable similar to how one can disable and enable bridges. There should
also be an API for checking the status of a connector and for
add/edit/delete connectors similar to the current bridge API.

They are intended to be used mostly in the context of resources, which
have their own feedback mechanism: statuses, retries, etc.
Also turn the error into a throw exception, so that it can be
interpreted as a regular error condition, for example by the resource
manager.
We need to reverse the dependency of `emqx_bridge` and `emqx_bridge_*`, because the former
loads and starts bridges during its application startup. If the individual bridge
application being loaded has not started with its dependencies, the supervision tree will
not be ready for that.
See:
https://emqx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/P/pages/612368639/open+e5.1+remove+auto+restart+interval+from+buffer+worker+resource+options
Current problem:
In 5.0.x, we have two timer options that control the state changing of buffer worker
resources: auto_restart_interval and health_check_interval.
- auto_restart_interval controls how often the resource attempts to transition from
disconnected to connected.
- health_check_interval controls how often the resource is checked and potentially moved
from connected to disconnected or connecting.
The existence of two independent timers for very similar purposes is confusing to users,
QA and even developers. Also, an intimately related configuration is request_timeout,
which can interact badly with auto_restart_interval if the latter is poorly configured:
requests may always expire if request_timeout < auto_restart_interval and if the resource
enters the disconnected state. For health_check_interval, we attempt to derive a sane
default that gives requests a chance to retry (if request timeout is finite, then the
resource retries requests with a period of min(health_check_interval, request_timeout /
3).
Another problem with the separate auto_restart_interval is that its default value (60 s)
is too high when compared to the default request timeout and health check, leading to the
problems described above if not tuned.
Proposed solution:
We propose to drop auto_restart_interval in favor of health_check_interval, which will be
used for both disconnected -> connected and connected -> {disconnected, connecting}
transition checks. With that, the resource will attempt to reconnect at the same interval
as the health check, which currently is 15 s.
Also, as two smaller changes to accompany this one:
- Increase the default request_timeout from 15 s to 45 s.
- Rename request_timeout to request_ttl.
