Update kibana upgrade assistant doc (#132305)

Browse source 
**Description:**
Currently we use major.minor.patch version in kibana upgrade assistant doc:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/upgrade-assistant.html
> To upgrade to 8.0 or later, you must first upgrade to 7.17.3.

But per the following facts, it's not 100% correct and causing confusion:

- Patch version should not be considered, per Elastic Stack doc [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/8.2/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#prepare-to-upgrade)
```
To upgrade to 8.2.0 from 7.16 or earlier, you must first upgrade to 7.17.
```

- Upgrade assistant doesn't actually check the patch version if it's already on 7.17.x

We should keep the doc aligned to the real behavior of upgrade assistant, unless it's a bug in kibana upgrade assistant and Elastic Stack side doc.
