[Obs UX] Enable Synthetics on Serverless (#171339)
## Summary

Resolves https://github.com/elastic/synthetics-dev/issues/290.

~Creating this PR as a place to experiment with Synthetics running
against the Serverless platform. Main goals are to find areas of the
codebase that require revision and get as much of Synthetics functioning
as possible without access to public locations.~

This adds the necessary config and other features to make Synthetics
workable as part of the oblt serverless project. Notably, we aren't
including the `xpack.uptime.enabled` flag here, because we are not ready
to expose the plugin to production users yet. We're going to enable the
plugin on a per-env basis using other means to start, and when we are
ready to expose the plugin generally in prod, we will add that flag.

Also adds nav and fixes a few other things that were broken for
serverless specifically.

### 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. |
| [See more potential risk
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
