Sustainable Kibana Architecture: Categorise straightforward packages (#199630)
## Summary

This PR is part of the Kibana Sustainable Architecture effort.

The goal is to start categorising Kibana packages into _generic
platform_ (`group: "platform"`) vs _solution-specific_.

```
group?: 'search' | 'security' | 'observability' | 'platform'
visibility?: 'private' | 'shared'
```
Uncategorised modules are considered to be `group: 'common', visibility:
'shared'` by default.

We want to prevent code from solution A to depend on code from solution
B.
Thus, the rules are pretty simple:

* Modules can only depend on:
  * Modules in the same group
  * OR modules with 'shared' visibility
* Modules in `'observability', 'security', 'search'` groups are
mandatorily `visibility: "private"`.

Long term, the goal is to re-organise packages into dedicated folders,
e.g.:

```
x-pack/platform/plugins/private
x-pack/observability/packages
```

For this first wave, we have categorised packages that seem
"straightforward":
* Any packages that have:
  * at least one dependant module
  * all dependants belong to the same group
* Categorise all Core packages:
  * `@kbn/core-...-internal` => _platform/private_
  * everything else => _platform/shared_
* Categorise as _platform/shared_ those packages that:
  * Have at least one dependant in the _platform_ group.
  * Don't have any `devOnly: true` dependants.

### What we ask from you, as CODEOWNERS of the _package manifests_, is
that you confirm that the categorisation is correct:

* `group: "platform", visibility: "private"` if it's a package that
should only be used from platform code, not from any solution code. It
will be loaded systematically in all serverless flavors, but solution
plugins and packages won't be able to `import` from it.
* `group: "platform", visibility: "shared"` if it's a package that can
be consumed by both platform and solutions code. It will be loaded
systematically in all serverless flavors, and anybody can import / use
code from it.
* `group: "observability" | "security" | "search", visibility:
"private"` if it's a package that is intented to be used exclusively
from a given solution. It won't be accessible nor loaded from other
solutions nor platform code.

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
