[Entity Analytics][Risk Engine] Risk Scoring Task (#163216)
## What this PR does
* Adds a new Task Manager task, `risk_engine:risk_scoring`, responsible
for invoking the `calculateAndPersistRiskScores` API defined in the risk
scoring service.
* Unlike an alerting task, we do not encrypt/persist an API key for the
user. Instead, we use the internal kibana user to query all alerts in
the current space.
* The task configuration is stored as part of the existing
`risk-engine-configuration` Saved Object
* Extends the `risk-engine-configuration` SO to include more
configuration fields
* Management of this configuration is not currently exposed to the user.
They can only enable/disable the entire "Risk Engine" on the `Settings
-> Entity Risk Score` page
* The settings currently serve mainly as the "default" values for task
execution, but also as a way for a customer/SA to modify task execution
if necessary.
* We expect to be modifying these default values before release, as part
of our planned "tuning" stage.

### How to Review
* Setup:
* The risk engine acts on Detection engine alerts, and so you will need
to create:
      1. some "source" data (logs, filebeat, auditbeat, etc)
2. Rules looking for the above "source" data, and generating alerts
* The risk engine requires two feature flags, currently:
`riskScoringPersistence` and `riskScoringRoutesEnabled`
  * You will also need a Platinum or greater license.
1. Test that the task executes correctly
1. With the above data set up, navigate to `Settings -> Entity Risk
Score` page, and enable the task by toggling `Entity risk scoring` to
`On`
1. Within a few minutes, risk scores should be written to the risk score
datastream:
        * `GET risk-score.risk-score-default/_search`
* Replace `default` with the name of your current space, as necessary.
1. Disabling/re-enabling the risk engine should trigger another
execution of the task (similar to disabling/enabling a DE rule)
1. Enable the risk engine in another space
    * The engine (and task) can be enabled/executed in any kibana space.
* Because the engine only acts upon alerts in the current space, you
will need to first ensure alerts exist in that space.
1. Validate the data/mappings of persisted risk scores
* Scores are based on the Stage 1 [ECS
RFC](https://github.com/elastic/ecs/pull/2236)
* There is no UI reading from these scores, currently (but that is
introduced in https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/163237)
  
  

### Risk Matrix

Delete this section if it is not applicable to this PR.

Before closing this PR, invite QA, stakeholders, and other developers to
identify risks that should be tested prior to the change/feature
release.

When forming the risk matrix, consider some of the following examples
and how they may potentially impact the change:

| Risk | Probability | Severity | Mitigation/Notes |

|---------------------------|-------------|----------|-------------------------|
| Multiple Spaces—unexpected behavior in non-default Kibana Space.
| Low | High | Integration tests will verify that all features are still
supported in non-default Kibana Space and when user switches between
spaces. |
| Multiple nodes—Elasticsearch polling might have race conditions
when multiple Kibana nodes are polling for the same tasks. | High | Low
| Tasks are idempotent, so executing them multiple times will not result
in logical error, but will degrade performance. To test for this case we
add plenty of unit tests around this logic and document manual testing
procedure. |
| Code should gracefully handle cases when feature X or plugin Y are
disabled. | Medium | High | Unit tests will verify that any feature flag
or plugin combination still results in our service operational. |

examples](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/RISK_MATRIX.mdx) |

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
