[Dashboard Navigation] Make links panel available under technical preview (#166896)
## Summary
This PR wraps up the work the @elastic/kibana-presentation team has done
to finish the MVP of [Phase
1](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/154354) of the `Link`
embeddable, which enables users to add panels to their dashboard that
contain links to other dashboards + external links - with respect to
dashboard links, we give the author control over which pieces of context
should be kept across dashboards so that things like filter pills,
queries, and time ranges are not lost. This marks a huge improvement in
dashboard navigation overall, which was previously only available via a
variety of different workarounds including (but not limited to):
- Creating (essentially) a `noop` dashboard-to-dashboard drilldown 
- Using markdown panels with hard Dashboard links, which are prone to
break across updates
- Avoiding navigation all together, which resulted in large,
slow-to-load dashboards.

As an added benefit, because these panels contain **references** to each
dashboard rather than hard links, (1) unlike markdown links, they should
not break after updates and (2) if a links panel is exported and
imported into another space or instance, all of the dashboards it links
to will also be imported.

### Note about this PR
- A majority of this work was done on a feature branch, with thorough
reviews from @andreadelrio on behalf of @elastic/kibana-design along the
way. Therefore, while feedback on the design is encouraged, any large
concerns brought up in this PR should be filed as separate issues and
addressed in follow-up PRs.
- This PR contains work for giving embeddables control over their own
panel size / default positioning on the dashboard. This was especially
important for the links panel, since we assume that (a) most links
panels would be located somewhere near the top of the dashboard and (b)
the horizontal links panel should have a different default "shape"
(longer than it is tall) than the vertical panel (taller than it is
long).
- This PR also contains work for caching dashboard saved objects, which
makes navigation much more seamless.
