Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/153820 ## Summary This PR removes the version string from all actions, and removes the actions.version property altogether. This will support zero-downtime upgrades, where the need to continue to authorize user actions during an upgrade is required. ### Caveats Without the version string or version property, we will no longer check for a strict match of Kibana versions in a cluster ('Multiple versions of Kibana are running against the same Elasticsearch cluster, unable to authorize user'). We do not feel this will be an issue - the check was originally an extra precaution to ensure future versions could not inadvertently grant additional privileges to users by default, but this is no longer considered a real concern. ### Questions Will we need any further changes to support ZDT upgrades? During testing, I had attempted to run two different versions of Kibana containing versionless actions to see if there would be any unforeseen issues. Unfortunately, there are many other mechanisms which interfere with doing this and it was not possible to circumvent them all. The on-prem and ESS upgrade paths appear to work as expected, where after migration everything behaves as it should but without versioned actions. ## Testing This change can be tested by creating one or more roles with specific privileges in various categories/solutions, assigning those roles to different users, logging in as those users and validating that the appropriate actions are either allowed or blocked. Additionally, start ES & Kibana 8.8.0 and perform the steps above, then stop Kibana 8.8.0, and start Kibana from this PR with `elasticsearch.ignoreVersionMismatch` set to true. Re-check privileges for the test roles. Check the master list of actions with `GET /_security/privilege` and verify that the version number is not included.

Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.1 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 7.15.0 | 7.15.1 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 7.14.2 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 7.15.1 | 8.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.14.2 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 8.0.0 | 7.15.1 | 🚫 Fatal error |
