[Infra IU] Disable Metrics Explorer for serverless (#167022)
Closes #163282 

## Summary

This PR:
* Adds a `featureFlags.metricsExplorerEnabled` property to the Infra
plugin config to enable and disable Metrics Explorer depending on the
offering type
* Prevents `MetricsExplorerViewsService` initialization for serveless
based on the feature flag
* Prevents creating Metrics Explorer frontend routes when in serverless
* Prevents registration of the MetricsExplorerViews saved object when in
serverless
* Prevents initialization of the `metrics_explorer_views` API routes
when in serverless

## How to test
* Checkout locally
* Enable Infra in `serverless.oblt.yml`: `xpack.infra.enabled: true`
* Run Kibana in serverless mode
* Try accessing `/app/metrics/explorer` route and make sure it's not
available
* Make sure other Infra routes (`/app/metrics/inventory` and
`/app/metrics/hosts`) still load as expected
* In Kibana dev console make sure you get 404 for `GET
kbn:/api/infra/metrics_explorer_views`
* Also check that you don't see `metrics-explorer-view` saved object in
the response for `GET
kbn:/api/kibana/management/saved_objects/_allowed_types`
* Run Kibana in non-serverless mode and make sure Metrics Explorer is
accessible and works as usual

Plugin Functional Tests

This folder contains plugin functional tests, i.e. functional tests that should be executed against a Kibana instance with specific test plugins available.

To add a plugin to the instance, just place the plugin folder in the plugins directory.

Add new test suites into the test_suites folder and reference them from the config.js file. These test suites work the same as regular functional test except that they are executed against a Kibana with all plugins (from the plugins directory) installed.

Run the test

To run these tests during development you can use the following commands:

# Start the test server (can continue running)
node scripts/functional_tests_server.js --config test/plugin_functional/config.ts
# Start a test run
node scripts/functional_test_runner.js --config test/plugin_functional/config.ts

Run Kibana with a test plugin

In case you want to start Kibana with one of the test plugins (e.g. for developing the test plugin), you can just run:

yarn start --plugin-path=test/plugin_functional/plugins/<plugin_folder>

If you wish to start Kibana with multiple test plugins, you can run:

yarn start --plugin-path=test/plugin_functional/plugins/<plugin_folder1> --plugin-path=test/plugin_functional/plugins/<plugin_folder2> ... 

If you wish to load up specific es archived data for your test, you can do so via the es_archiver script detailed in the Scripts README.md

Another option, which will automatically use any specific settings the test environment may rely on, is to boot up the functional test server pointing to the plugin configuration file.

node scripts/functional_tests_server --config test/plugin_functional/config.ts

Note: you may still need to use the es_archiver script to boot up any required data.
