[7.x][ML] Report cause when datafeed extraction encounters error (#66167) (#66277)
When a datafeed encounters errors extracting data, often the error is an instance of `SearchPhaseExecutionException`. In that case the top level error message is `Partial shards failure` which is not very informative. This commit refactors a transform util method from `ExceptionRootCauseFinder`, which unwraps exceptions with special handling for `SearchPhaseExecutionException`, and makes use of it from datafeed `ProblemTracker` in order to provide a more useful error message. Backport of #66167
