Update GitLab Elasticsearch integration documentation

Changzheng Liu requested to merge 476196-update-elasticsearch-integration-doc into master

What does this MR do and why?

In order to make Elasticsearch integration documentation easy to follow, I made the following changes in this iteration,

  • Lay out the integration in two major steps, Install Elasticsearch or AWS OpenSearch cluster and Enable Advanced Search. I mentioned these two steps at the top of the page.
  • Moved the version check under Install Elasticsearch or AWS OpenSearch cluster
  • Removed description about installing GitLab Elasticsearch indexer in the cases that users don't have to know.
  • Restructured access control by Elasticsearch-related and OpenSearch-related
  • In Enable Advanced Search part, restructured how to index instance.
  • Added a section Indexing status and referred users to it for checking initial indexing jobs
