[Data Views] Disable scripted field creation in the Data Views management page (#202250)
## Summary

Scripted fields in data views have been deprecated since 7.13, and
superseded by runtime fields.

The ability to create new scripted fields has been removed from the Data
Views management page in 9.0. Existing scripted fields can still be
edited or deleted, and the creation UI can be accessed by navigating
directly to
`/app/management/kibana/dataViews/dataView/{dataViewId}/create-field`,
but it is recommended to migrate to runtime fields or ES|QL instead to
prepare for removal.

Additionally, the scripted fields entry in the Upgrade Assistant has
been updated to reflect these changes, improve migration instructions,
and surface the full list of data views across all spaces that contain
scripted fields as well as their associated spaces. New documentation
has been added to the "Manage data views" page with examples and
instructions to help users migrate off scripted fields to runtime fields
or ES|QL, which is also linked to from the Upgrade Assistant entry.
