Processor RenderedItem: add search_api_processor ID the temporary user

Problem/Motivation

For the Search API Exclude - Layout Builder → module, we needed a way to know when RenderedItem processor is the cause of Layout Builder components being rendered, so we can intercept and alter the Layout Builder render result.

We played around with various solutions, using existing options (dedicated role for example).
The solution we ended up with, is added a custom value to the temporary user session that is created in the RenderedItem, as it seemed least intrusive and no additional config is needed.
Additionally, it allows other modules to inspect the current user session and detected if we are rendering for indexing or not.

Proposed resolution

Add custom value 'search_api_processor' with value 'rendered_item' to the UserSession that is created to render content for indexing.

Or something similarly unique, that can be detected and acted upon by other modules.
