o365input: Restart after fatal error (elastic#21258)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Update the o365input to restart the input after a fatal error is
encountered, for example an authentication token refresh error or a parsing
error.

This enables the input to be more resilient against transient errors.

Before this patch, the input would index an error document and terminate.
Now it will index an error and restart after a fixed timeout of 5 minutes.
