In https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/31234 there were some extra changes that I've reverted, like use of the `tsconfig-paths` package to magically rewrite import statements to defy the standard node module resolution algorithm, the inclusion of several unnecessary options in the `test/tsconfig.json` file, and changes of the line-endings in the config files. This also brings a few enhancements from https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/30190 including a modularized version of the expect.js types, and options for explicit mappings for the PageObjects and services used in ftr tests.
As suggested by @legrego in #28792, this PR adds a config flag to completely disable the welcome screen, which is enabled by the functional test runner to ensure that the welcome screen doesn't pop up.
Right now the functional tests are run against a distributable of Kibana in CI, but that distributable is running with `--env.name=development`. That causes the optimizer to run again before the tests can start and prevents the functional tests from running against the actual version of the application users will end up getting. This seems necessary for some tests, but not all of them, but I would like to get all of the tests running against the production version of Kibana soon.
This PR implements a second ftr config, `test/functional_production` that uses basically a copy of the `test/functional` config but with a few minor adjustments, removing the `--env.name=development` kbnServerArg and using a unique junit report name. To accomplish this I needed to modify the `@kbn/test` module to only pass the `--dev` flag to the Kibana server if it is being run in development mode, which it currently does by testing the args for `--env.name=development` or two args next to each other: `'--env.name'` and `'development'`. It does this by converting the `extraKbnOpts` option into an `addExtraKbnArgs` function, which is called with the final args just before passing them to the proc runner and given a chance to modify then after all other args are resolved (pulling from different places in config based on the build type, etc.)
Over the next couple weeks I'll push up PRs for individual test suites, migrating them over to the new production config, hopefully in a short period of time we will have all the function test suites back under that `test/function` config and can run them all against the Kibana server in production mode.
This PR implements the `uiSettings.overrides` setting which [when stored in kibana.yml or passed as config args when starting Kibana] allows forcing some uiSettings to always have a specific value. This setting accepts a map of uiSetting keys to values that will always be used to override whatever is stored in the config saved object.

When users view the settings in the advanced settings UI they are disabled and describe why they can't be changed.

Attempting to change these values from the uiSettings client/service/api is also prevented, causing a 400 error to be thrown and/or sent as the response.
We currently use the `retry` service to call a function over and over in a loop, waiting for it to run without throwing an error, and ultimately failing if it does not succeed before a timeout is exceeded. This is the easiest way to get certain interactions to work, either because we don't know when we should be able to execute the interaction successfully, or because the timing is just too tricky to plan out correctly. Another place where we are using the `retry` service, which I don't think is appropriate, is when we need to wait for a certain condition to be met. This is where `retry.waitFor()` comes in:
```js
await retry.waitFor('dashboard search to be enabled', async () => {
const searchInput = await testSubjects.find('savedObjectFinderSearchInput');
return await searchInput.isEnabled();
})
```
The `retry.waitFor()` method behaves much like the `retry.try()` method behind the scenes, calling a function over and over, but instead of waiting for it to run without throwing an error it waits for it to return a "truthy" value. It also requires a description string that is used to make rather nice log output and a more descriptive error message than something like https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/test/functional/apps/dashboard/_data_shared_attributes.js#L61-L67

Adding a `webpack.DefinePlugin` slows down the optimizer a small amount,
so only apply it when it is necessary, and skip it if it is going to
be defined as "false".

In order to make the license that applies to each file as clear as possible, and to be consistent with elasticsearch, we are adding Apache 2.0 license headers to the top of each file.
Existence of this header is enforced by eslint and tslint and missing headers were automatically added in the last commit by running:
```
node scripts/eslint --fix && node scripts/tslint --fix
```

Restructure testing with kbn-test package
- Run with multiple configs, move cli options to config
- Package-ify kbn-test
- Eventually we'll have functional_test_runner live in a package
of its own, and then this kbn-test will use that as a dependency,
probably still as a devDependency.
- Implement functional_tests_server
- Collapse single and multiple config apis into one command
Use kbn-es
Replace es_test_cluster + es_test_config with kbn/test utils
Implement new createEsTestCluster
Improve scripts, jsdocs, cli top-level tools
Lift error handling to the top level
* [es][savedObjects/index] put template on each savedObject write
The elasticsearch plugin currently checks for the Kibana index on each iteration of the healthCheck, and creates it if it does not exist. This removes that step from the healthCheck and instead, before each savedObject is written to elasticsearch, ensures that Elasticsearch has the necessary index template should the write result in index creation.
The healthCheck still has the `patchKibanaIndex()` logic, which checks the type in the Kibana index and adds any missing types. This step now does nothing when the Kibana index does not exist, and does what it has always done when it does.
