Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
This bug has been noticed on Opensearch 2.6.0 with the repository-s3 plugin installed.
The problem comes from the repository validation in the snapshot management.
When there is a repository that cannot be validated, then the repositories are not listed and it is impossible to create a new one.
The only way to solve it in that case, is to delete the repository using the Opensearch API.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In Opensearch Dashboard go to Snapshot management
2. Go to Repositories
3. Create a S3 repository (custom configuration) with a wrong parameter (in order to make the validation fails)
4. Try to display the repository list or to create a new repository

Expected behavior
The behavior should be similar to the Opensearch API. Then the repository validation should not block the listing and the creation of a new repository. It should only display a status.
