[Ent Search Deprecation] Remove permission check for capabilities catalogue (#202060)

This change is related to removing the permission check for capabilities
catalogue in enterprise search.

This PR resolves this
[issue](https://github.com/elastic/search-team/issues/8521).

### Description
Currently, this
[line](01de887060/x-pack/plugins/enterprise_search/server/plugin.ts (L234))
is registering kibana capabilities for app search and workplace search.
Enterprise search has it's own RBAC and this registration is an
extension of kibana's RBAC. Once we get rid of enterprisesearch nodes,
we do not need this any more.
