[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

Use the `always` condition to perform the watch actions whenever the watch is triggered, unless they are
<<actions-ack-throttle,throttled>>.
The `always` condition enables you to perform watch actions on a fixed schedule,
such as, _"Every Friday at noon, send a status report email to
sys.admin@example.com."_
==== Using the always condition
This is the default if you omit the condition definition from a watch.
There are no attributes to specify for the `always` condition. To explicitly
use this condition, specify the condition type and associate it with an empty
object:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
"condition" : {
"always" : {}
}
--------------------------------------------------
