[SecuritySolution][EntityAnalytics] Risk Scoring Preview API (#155966)
## Summary

This PR adds a new Risk Scoring API endpoint. Its functionality is meant
to replace the current transform-based solution.

### Contents of this PR:
- New feature flag: `riskScoringRoutesEnabled`
- A new POST endpoint at `/internal/risk_scores/preview`
- An OpenAPI doc for the endpoint
- Unit and integration tests

### Current behavior, and short-term plans
The endpoint as specified in this branch is _read-only_. When the
endpoint is hit, it triggers some aggregations in elasticsearch, and a
formatted response is returned; there is no persistence at this time.
This endpoint was originally written as a POC to demonstrate the new
Risk Engine's functionality, but it will now drive the [Preview Risk
Scoring](https://github.com/elastic/security-team/issues/6443) feature.

The main path for the Risk Engine is going to be a _scheduled task_ that
calculates Risk Scores and writes them to a persistent datastream that
we own. (https://github.com/elastic/security-team/issues/6450). To
accomplish this, we will decompose the full functionality of this
endpoint into constituent pieces (i.e. `calculate | persist, get`)

## How to review
I've created a Postman collection that can be used to exercise this
endpoint. It was generated by Postman from the OpenAPI spec, and
modified by me to contain a valid subset of request parameters; please
peruse the spec and/or feel free to generate your own scripts/tools from
the spec.
```
curl -L -H 'Authorization: 10c7f646373aa116' -o 'Risk Scoring API.postman_collection.json' https://upload.elastic.co/d/007a57857fc40c791835629ea6dd692d2a8a290860f2917329d688be78c03b1d
```

### Review against the PR instance
I've created a [demo
instance](https://rylnd-pr-155966-risk-score-api.kbndev.co/) containing
the code on this branch, along with some realistic(ish) alert data
(~200k alerts). While you can use this instance as a convenience, you
will need to [set up
kibana-remote-dev](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-remote-dev#access-kibana-es-locally-without-sso)
and forward ports in order to be able to access the instance's API from
a local machine:

1. Configure kibana-remote-dev with your SSH key and GitHub token.
2. Configure kibana-remote-dev to specify `GITHUB_USERNAME=rylnd`
* This allows you to bypass kibana-remote-dev code that assumes projects
are owned by you
3. Forward local ports to my instance: `./ports
rd-rylnd-pr-155966-risk-score-api`
4. Use postman to talk to `http://localhost:5601`, which will be
forwarded to the cloud instance via the previous command

### Review manually
1. Check out this branch
3. Enable the feature flag
4. Populate some event data and generate some alerts
5. Navigate to the new endpoint, and observe that the `host.name`s and
`user.name`s from those alerts have been aggregated into these "risk
scores" in the response
6. Play with the request options to see how these affect the scores (and
see docs/test for more details on how those work)

## _What_ to review
* Are the scores internally consistent? I.e. do they add up as expected?
Does the corresponding "level" make sense?
* Do parameters apply as expected? E.g. do weights predictably scale the
results?
* Are there discrepancies between the spec and the actual
implementation?
* Does pagination make sense? (i.e. the `after_keys` stuff)?

#### TODO (for @rylnd)
- [x] Add `description`s to the OpenAPI docs
- [x] Remove remaining TODOs from code


### Checklist


- [x] [Unit or functional
tests](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-tests.html)
were updated or added to match the most common scenarios
- [x] If a plugin configuration key changed, check if it needs to be
allowlisted in the cloud and added to the [docker
list](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/dev/build/tasks/os_packages/docker_generator/resources/base/bin/kibana-docker)




### For maintainers

- [ ] This was checked for breaking API changes and was [labeled
appropriately](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/contributing.html#kibana-release-notes-process)

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
