[DOCS] Move x-pack docs to docs/reference dir (#99209)
**Problem:**
For historical reasons, source files for the Elasticsearch Guide's security, watcher, and Logstash API docs are housed in the `x-pack/docs` directory. This can confuse new contributors who expect Elasticsearch Guide docs to be located in `docs/reference`. 

**Solution:**
- Move the security, watcher, and Logstash API doc source files to the `docs/reference` directory
- Update doc snippet tests to use security

=== Get Watcher index settings
++++
<titleabbrev>Get Watcher settings</titleabbrev>
++++
This API allows a user to retrieve the user-configurable settings for the Watcher internal index (`.watches`). Only a subset of the index settings—those that are user-configurable—will be shown. This includes:
- `index.auto_expand_replicas`
- `index.number_of_replicas`
An example of retrieving the Watcher settings:
[source,console]
-----------------------------------------------------------
GET /_watcher/settings
-----------------------------------------------------------
The configurable settings can be modified using the <<watcher-api-update-settings,Update Watcher index settings>> API.
