* [DOCS] Describe how to use Elastic Agent to monitor Elasticsearch
* Temporarily fix doc build
* Add question about showing Elastic Agent metrics in the monitoring UI
* Apply changes from review
* Activate link to Kibana docs
* Fix broken link
* Update docs/reference/monitoring/indices.asciidoc
* Metricbeat monitoring collection suggest to enable local exporters
Those steps are not needed.
1. We enable the local _legacy_ exporters
2. In the last step, we disable the local _legacy_ exporters again.
* Also remove legacy collection step from Filebeat page

Removes `testenv` annotations and related code. These annotations originally let you skip x-pack snippet tests in the docs. However, that's no longer possible.
Relates to #79309, #31619
This PR deprecates all monitoring settings as well as adds deprecation info entries for each setting.
Collecting and shipping monitoring data using the Monitoring plugin will be deprecated in 7.16 and will be removed at some point in the 8.x line after sufficient wait time. The recommended approach for collecting and shipping monitoring data going forward is to use Metricbeat. The recommended approach for alerting is Kibana alerting.
Today we mention Metricbeat's `scope` parameter but offer no guidance
about how it should be used. This commit adds guidance to use `scope:
cluster`, especially on clusters with dedicated master-eligible nodes.
Now that https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/9118 is merged, starting 7.1 users will be able configure Metricbeat for monitoring Elasticsearch nodes using a simpler syntax.
Previously, users would have to run `metricbeat modules enable elasticsearch` to enable the `elasticsearch` Metricbeat module, then configure the module for Stack Monitoring by manually editing `modules.d/elasticsearch.yml`. Going forward, users will be able to achieve the same effect by running `metricbeat modules enable elasticsearch-xpack`.
This PR updates the docs with this change.
