[Attack discovery] Optionally update the kibana.alert.workflow_status of alerts associated with Attack discoveries (#225029)
## [Attack discovery] Optionally update the `kibana.alert.workflow_status` of alerts associated with Attack discoveries

This PR introduces a new UI to optionally update the `kibana.alert.workflow_status` of alerts associated with Attack discoveries, as illustrated by the animated gif below:

![update_attack_discovery_alerts](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5974fc4e-50b4-43e9-9939-885f9577c153)

Users may (optionally) update all alerts for a single attack discovery, or just update the discovery itself:

![update_one_attack_discovery](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd774ae7-976d-4649-a97d-b9bae8d359ad)

When multiple attack discoveries are selected, users may also (optionally) update the status of all their related alerts via the bulk action menu:

![update_multiple_discoveries](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/71463945-f201-4810-9798-2646751dc919)

### Alert document enhancements

Attack discoveries generated via the Attack discovery page, and scheduled Attack discoveries (generated via the alerting framework), are persisted as alert documents.

To support the new UI, this PR populates Attack discovery alert documents with two additional (existing, but unused by Attack discovery) alert document fields:

1) `kibana.alert.start` - timestamp when Attack discoveries are created

2) `kibana.alert.workflow_status_updated_at` - timestamp when the `kibana.alert.workflow_status` was last updated

This PR introduces three new alert document fields to capture metadata about when alerts are updated. Attack discovery is the first implementation to use these new fields, however any consumer of the alerting framework may utilize them in the future:

1) `kibana.alert.updated_at` - timestamp when the alert was last updated

2) `kibana.alert.updated_by.user.id` - user id of the user that last updated the alert

3) `kibana.alert.updated_by.user.name` -  user name of the user that last updated the alert

The three new alert fields above are updated when Attack discovery users update:

- The `kibana.alert.workflow_status` status of Attack discoveries
- The visibility (sharing) status of Attack discoveries (`kibana.alert.attack_discovery.users`)

The three new fields above were added to the [alert_field_map](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/platform/packages/shared/kbn-alerts-as-data-utils/src/field_maps/alert_field_map.ts) and [alert_schema](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/platform/packages/shared/kbn-alerts-as-data-utils/src/schemas/generated/alert_schema.ts).

Using the `default` space as an example, the fields above may be observed in the `.adhoc.alerts-security.attack.discovery.alerts-default` data stream for Attack discoveries generated on the Attack discovery page, and scheduled discoveries for the same space are found in the `.alerts-security.attack.discovery.alerts-default` data stream.

### @timestamp updated when sharing status changes

To ensure newly-shared Attack discoveries are bumped to the top of search results, the `@timestamp` field is updated when the visibility (sharing) status of Attack discoveries (`kibana.alert.attack_discovery.users`) is updated.

(The original time an Attack discovery was generated is represented by the `kibana.alert.start` field, which is not mutated.)

### Visibility menu changes

This PR disables the visibility menu items for shared Attack discoveries, as illustrated by the screenshot below:

![visibility_menu_disabled](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/168db75c-de8f-4bf1-9490-7e3995faed9d)

The disabled menu has a tooltip that reads:

```
The visibility of shared discoveries cannot be changed
```

Note: The internal Attack discovery bulk API still (intentionally) allows changes to the visibility of shared attack discoveries.

### `kibana.alert.workflow_status` added to default `Alerts` tab columns

The `kibana.alert.workflow_status` field was added to default `Alerts` tab columns, as illustrated by the screenshot below:

![alerts_tab_workflow_status](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/264647d0-5782-444f-ad0e-c5485fae1e96)

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
