[Cloud Security] Adding MSW for mocking server responses in React integration tests (#184555)
## Summary

It closes #183977

This PR introduces the MSW library into Kibana and setups for MSW usage
with Jest for integration testing of React components in the Cloud
Security Posture plugin.

It also adds the setup for the initial
[handlers](https://mswjs.io/docs/concepts/request-handler/), and
configures a test for the `<NoFindingsStates/>` components using MSW to
exemplify how the library works.

### Problem Statement

Currently, integration tests for React components that interact with the
server are hard to write and maintain, as they often require mocking
functions implementation and responses, this can lead to tests that do
not accurately verify the intended functionality and can be hard to
maintain as the implementation of the functions changes.

This leads to situations our team faces now, where due to the difficult
maintainability of integration tests, we rely much more on End-to-End
tests, and maintaining those many End-to-End comes with its own set of
tradeoffs, as oftentimes End-to-End tests are detected by the CI as
failing or flaky, and as flakiness can happen in End-to-end tests due to
its nature of multiple integrated systems, this concept proposes that
it's better to reserve End-to-end tests for the features in the most
critical path and tests that test multiple integrated systems as those
will benefit most of the end-to-end testing. For all the other tests we
should focus on unit and integration tests.

### How MSW works

MSW is a library that allows you to mock server responses in your tests,
it works by intercepting the requests made by the client and returning
the mocked responses, this way we can test how the client behaves in
different states of the lifecycle such as loading, error, and success.

This proposes that we should use MSW to enhance our integration tests,
and give preference to writing integration tests over End-to-End tests
whenever possible, but this doesn't mean that we should stop writing
end-to-end tests, as end-to-end tests are still important for the
features in the most critical path and tests that tests multiple
integrated systems.


### MSW Diagram

Here's a diagram that shows how MSW works with Jest tests:

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
