[Security Solution] Migrates siem.notifications ruleAlertId to saved object references array (#113205) (#113800)
## Summary

Fixes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/113276

* Migrates the legacy `siem.notifications` "ruleAlertId" to be within the references array
* Adds code to serialize and de-serialize "ruleAlertId" from the saved object references array
* Adds migration code to `kibana-alerting` to migrate on startup
* Adds `legacy_saved_object_references/README.md` which describes how to test and what those files are for.
* Updates earlier similar `signals/saved_object_references/README.md` after reviewing it during my work
* Names these files the format of `legacy_foo` since this is all considered legacy work and will be removed once the legacy notification system is removed after customers have migrated. 
* Adds unit tests
* Adds 2e2 tests

We only migrate if we find these conditions and cases:
* "ruleAlertId" is not `null`, `undefined` or malformed data
* The"ruleAlertId" references do not already have an exceptionItem reference already found within it.

We migrate on the common use case:
* "ruleAlertId" exists and is a string

We do these additional (mis-use) cases and steps as well. These should NOT be common things that happen but we safe guard for them here:
* If the migration is run twice we are idempotent and do NOT add duplicates or remove items.
* If the migration was partially successful but re-run a second time, we only add what is missing. Again no duplicates or removed items should occur.
* If the saved object references already exists and contains a different or foreign value, we will retain the foreign reference(s) and still migrate.

Before migration you should see data structures like this if you query:

```json
# Get the alert type of "siem-notifications" which is part of the legacy system.
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "alert.alertTypeId": "siem.notifications"
    }
  }
}
```

```json
"data..omitted": "data..omitted",
"params" : {
  "ruleAlertId" : "933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481" <-- Pre-migration we had this Saved Object ID which is not part of references array below
},
"actions" : [
  {
    "group" : "default",
    "params" : {
      "message" : "Hourly\nRule {{context.rule.name}} generated {{state.signals_count}} alerts"
    },
    "actionTypeId" : ".slack",
    "actionRef" : "action_0" <-- Pre-migration this is correct as this work is already done within the alerting plugin
  },
  "references" : [
    {
      "id" : "879e8ff0-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481",
      "name" : "action_0", <-- Pre-migration this is correct as this work is already done within the alerting plugin
      "type" : "action"
    }
  ]
],
"data..omitted": "data..omitted",
```

After migration you should see data structures like this:
```json
"data..omitted": "data..omitted",
"params" : {
  "ruleAlertId" : "933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481" <-- Post-migration this is not used but rather the serialized version references is used instead.
},
"actions" : [
  {
    "group" : "default",
    "params" : {
      "message" : "Hourly\nRule {{context.rule.name}} generated {{state.signals_count}} alerts"
    },
    "actionTypeId" : ".slack",
    "actionRef" : "action_0"
  },
  "references" : [
    {
      "id" : "879e8ff0-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481",
      "name" : "action_0",
      "type" : "action"
    },
    {
      "id" : "933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481", <-- Our id here is preferred and used during serialization.
      "name" : "param:alert_0", <-- We add the name of our reference which is param:alert_0 similar to action_0 but with "param"
      "type" : "alert" <-- We add the type which is type of alert to the references
    }
  ]
],
"data..omitted": "data..omitted",
```

## Manual testing 
There are e2e and unit tests but for any manual testing or verification you can do the following:

If you have a 7.14.0 system and can migrate it forward that is the most straight forward way to ensure this does migrate correctly and forward. You should see that the legacy notification system still operates as expected.

If you are a developer off of master and want to test different scenarios then this section is for below as it is more involved and harder to do but goes into more depth:

* Create a rule and activate it normally within security_solution
* Do not add actions to the rule at this point as we are exercising the older legacy system. However, you want at least one action configured such as a slack notification.
* Within dev tools do a query for all your actions and grab one of the `_id` of them without their prefix:

```json
# See all your actions
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "type": "action"
    }
  }
}
```

Mine was `"_id" : "action:879e8ff0-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481"`, so I will be copying the ID of `879e8ff0-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481`

Go to the file `detection_engine/scripts/legacy_notifications/one_action.json` and add this id to the file. Something like this:

```json
{
  "name": "Legacy notification with one action",
  "interval": "1m",  <--- You can use whatever you want. Real values are "1h", "1d", "1w". I use "1m" for testing purposes.
  "actions": [
    {
      "id": "879e8ff0-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481", <--- My action id
      "group": "default",
      "params": {
        "message": "Hourly\nRule {{context.rule.name}} generated {{state.signals_count}} alerts"
      },
      "actionTypeId": ".slack" <--- I am a slack action id type.
    }
  ]
}
```

Query for an alert you want to add manually add back a legacy notification to it. Such as:

```json
# See all your siem.signals alert types and choose one
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "alert.alertTypeId": "siem.signals"
    }
  }
}
```

Grab the `_id` without the alert prefix. For mine this was `933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481`

Within the directory of detection_engine/scripts execute the script:

```json
./post_legacy_notification.sh 933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481
{
  "ok": "acknowledged"
}
```

which is going to do a few things. See the file `detection_engine/routes/rules/legacy_create_legacy_notification.ts` for the definition of the route and what it does in full, but we should notice that we have now:

Created a legacy side car action object of type `siem-detection-engine-rule-actions` you can see in dev tools:

```json
# See the actions "side car" which are part of the legacy notification system.
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "type": {
        "value": "siem-detection-engine-rule-actions"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

But more importantly what the saved object references are which should be this:

```json
# Get the alert type of "siem-notifications" which is part of the legacy system.
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "alert.alertTypeId": "siem.notifications"
    }
  }
}
```

If you need to ad-hoc test what happens when the migration runs you can get the id of an alert and downgrade it, then
restart Kibana. The `ctx._source.references.remove(1)` removes the last element of the references array which is assumed
to have a rule. But it might not, so ensure you check your data structure and adjust accordingly.
```json
POST .kibana/_update/alert:933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481
{
  "script" : {
    "source": """
    ctx._source.migrationVersion.alert = "7.15.0";
    ctx._source.references.remove(1);
    """,
    "lang": "painless"
  }
}
```

If you just want to remove your your "param:alert_0" and it is the second array element to test the errors within the console
then you would use
```json
POST .kibana/_update/alert:933ca720-1be1-11ec-a722-83da1c22a481
{
  "script" : {
    "source": """
    ctx._source.references.remove(1);
    """,
    "lang": "painless"
  }
}
```

Check your log files and should see errors about the saved object references missing until you restart Kibana. Once you restart then it will migrate forward and you will no longer see errors.

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. 5.1.2 5.1.2 💚 OK
ES patch number is newer. 5.1.2 5.1.5 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is newer. 5.1.2 5.5.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES major number is newer. 5.1.2 6.0.0 🚫 Fatal error
ES patch number is older. 5.1.2 5.1.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is older. 5.1.2 5.0.0 🚫 Fatal error
ES major number is older. 5.1.2 4.0.0 🚫 Fatal error
