[ML] Data frame analytics: Fix source index checks. (#44479) (#44595)

The source index selection is based in Kibana index patterns. The form validation was too strict in that regard and used the same check as the destination index.
- Removes the check if the source index exists, it's not practical with index patterns containing wildcards.
- Changes the name validation to use the Kibana index pattern name check.
