With https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/79081, we now cover Kibana's **Snapshot and Restore** feature in the Elasticsearch docs. This removes and redirects the related docs from Kibana.
It also updates some references to the `.kibana` system indices to include the `kibana` feature state. The `kibana` feature state is now the preferred way to back up and restore system indices and other configuration data for Kibana.

When upgrading to the next major version, users should first upgrade to
the last minor in the previous release. In 6.x this is 6.8.

* Add a note about index migrations to the kibana setup docs
* Tewak the migrations asciidocs for clarity
* docs: refine saved object migration details
Breaking down the migration process into sections helps people find
and link to relevant information more easily.
The focus is on ongoing maintenance of Kibana, whereas the initial new
experience in 6.5.0 is treated as a note of clarification.
Error handling should be expanded in the future to include details about
specific known error cases.
These changes include all three known upgrade scenarios:
1. New installation (K3 -> K5)
2. Standard upgrade (K4.2 -> K5)
3. Standard upgrade with reindex (K4.1 -> K5)
This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more
inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help
us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added.
This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.
