Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown. The preview can be built after
#212557 is merged.

@florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s),
and take this out of draft when you're ready.

Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from
some files was moved to
[elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content).

**What has moved to
[elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?**

Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be
found under the following directories in the new docs:
- explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting,
Alerting, dev tools...
- deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote
clusters...)
- troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages

**What is staying in the Kibana repo?**

- Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated):
Settings, syntax references
- Release notes
- Developer guide

Effective issue reporting in Kibana [kibana-issue-reporting]

Voicing the importance of an issue [_voicing_the_importance_of_an_issue]

We seriously appreciate thoughtful comments. If an issue is important to you, add a comment with a solid write up of your use case and explain why its so important. Please avoid posting comments comprised solely of a thumbs up emoji 👍.

Granted that you share your thoughts, we might even be able to come up with creative solutions to your specific problem. If everything youd like to say has already been brought up but youd still like to add a token of support, feel free to add a 👍 thumbs up reaction on the issue itself and on the comment which best summarizes your thoughts.

"My issue isnt getting enough attention" [_my_issue_isnt_getting_enough_attention]

First of all, sorry about that! We want you to have a great time with {{kib}}.

Theres hundreds of open issues and prioritizing what to work on is an important aspect of our daily jobs. We prioritize issues according to impact and difficulty, so some issues can be neglected while we work on more pressing issues.

Feel free to bump your issues if you think theyve been neglected for a prolonged period.

"I want to help!" [_i_want_to_help]

Now were talking. If you have a bug fix or new feature that you would like to contribute to {{kib}}, please find or open an issue about it before you start working on it. Talk about what you would like to do. It may be that somebody is already working on it, or that there are particular issues that you should know about before implementing the change.

We enjoy working with contributors to get their code accepted. There are many approaches to fixing a problem and it is important to find the best approach before writing too much code.
