Make some changes to how we deal with data telemetry in APM and reduce the number of fields we're storing in Saved Objects in the .kibana index. Add a telemetry doc in dev_docs explaining how telemetry is collected and how to make updates. (In this PR the docs only cover data telemetry, but there's a space for the behavioral telemetry docs.) Stop storing the mapping for the data telemetry in the Saved Object but instead use `{ dynamic: false }`. This reduces the number of fields used by APM in the .kibana index (as requested in #43673.) Before: ```bash > curl -s -X GET "admin:changeme@localhost:9200/.kibana/_field_caps?fields=*&pretty=true" | jq '.fields|length' 653 ``` After: ```bash > curl -s -X GET "admin:changeme@localhost:9200/.kibana/_field_caps?fields=*&pretty=true" | jq '.fields|length' 415 ``` We don't need the mapping anymore for storing the saved object, but we still do need to update the telemetry repository when the mapping changes, and the `upload-telemetry-data` script uses that mapping when generating data. For these purposes the mapping in now defined in TypeScript in a function in common/apm_telemetry.ts. It's broken down into some variables that and put together as the same mapping object that was there before, but having it in this form should make it easier to update. A new script, `merge-telemetry-mapping`, takes the telemetry repository's xpack-phone-home.json mapping, merges in the result of our mapping and replaces the file. The result can be committed to the telemetry repo, making it easier to make changes to the mapping. References #61583 Fixes #67032
