[Docs] Discover docs updates (#198423)
This PR updates the first few pages of the Discover docs:
- Splits most of the content of the parent page into a child page to
match with the structure of the Dashboards docs
- Refocuses some of the content so that it looks generally applicable to
users and their data rather than a sample data-based tutorial
- Adds missing content flagged in
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192149
- Adds some content updates specific to 8.16 flagged in
https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/500 (I still need
to figure out what's the best way to document ES|QL stuff)

Rel: https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/500
Closes: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192149 
Closes: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/162265
Closes: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/187417

Note: While there may be more missing features that we want to document,
let's first get these updates in.

Note2: If you're wondering where to preview the changes, find the
preview link in the Github actions comment and navigate to the "master"
version of the Kibana guide.

Kibana

Kibana is your window into the Elastic Stack. Specifically, it's a browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.

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:

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:

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
