This PR adds the capability for individual components to implement a connectivity test, which can be used by downstream tooling to test the validity of configs without actually consuming and processing data.
This ended up being a much larger body of work than anticipated because I totally forgot just how deeply it is assumed within the engine that components that are instantiated will always be consuming. In order to work around this I have decoupled the initial handshake between components (where channels are exchanged) and the actual triggering of async connections and consumption of data.
In order to execute these connectivity tests there are new APIs within public/service that allow tools to create streams or build resources and then call connectivity tests on them without (or before) subsequently activating them.
