change kibana.yml xpack.actions.whitelistedHosts to default to ['*'] (#52827) (#53188)

resolves https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/52597

The previous default was `[]`, which meant no hosts were whitelisted,
which would require a Kibana admin to set this value for any actions
that accessed 3rd party services (currently email and webhook, longer
term slack and pagerduty).
