[docs] Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown (#212558) 
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

APM settings in Kibana [apm-settings-kb]

These settings allow the APM app to function, and specify the data that it surfaces. Unless you’ve customized your setup, you do not need to configure any settings to use the APM app. It is enabled by default.

APM indices [apm-indices-settings-kb]

The APM app uses data views to query APM indices. To change the default APM indices that the APM app queries, open the APM app and select Settings > Indices. Index settings in the APM app take precedence over those set in kibana.yml.

Starting in version 8.2.0, APM indices are {{kib}} Spaces-aware; Changes to APM index settings will only apply to the currently enabled space.

General APM settings [general-apm-settings-kb]

If you’d like to change any of the default values, copy and paste the relevant settings into your kibana.yml configuration file. Changing these settings may disable features of the APM App.
