[Entity Analytics][Privilege Monitoring] Engine initialization API (#215663)

## Summary This PR introduces the first building blocks for the [Entity Analytics Privileged Monitoring](https://github.com/elastic/security-team/issues/9971). We follow the approach used in the Entity Store and add a new "Engine", which consists of the following components: * Public API * INIT and HEALTH routes * Kibana task * Privilege Monitoring Data Client * Engine Saved Object * API key manager * Related storage indices * Feature Flag: `privilegeMonitoringEnabled` set to `false` by default. * API integration test configuration * only tests that the health endpoint is available * Auditing and Telemetry ## Testing steps 1. Make sure to add `privilegeMonitoringEnabled` to your `kibana.dev.yaml` 2. In devtools, ensure the API is working with `GET kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/privileges/health` 3. Start the engine with: `POST kbn:/api/entity_analytics/monitoring/engine/init` 4. Look for `DEBUG` logs mentioning the `entity_analytics:monitoring:privileges:engine` task --------- Co-authored-by: CAWilson94 <charlotte.wilson@elastic.co> Co-authored-by: Charlotte Alexandra Wilson <CAWilson94@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: kibanamachine <42973632+kibanamachine@users.noreply.github.com>
