This commit changes our behavior in 2 ways:
- When mapping claims to user properties ( principal, email, groups,
name), we only handle string and array of string type. Previously
we would fail to recognize an array of other types and that would
cause failures when trying to cast to String.
- When adding unmapped claims to the user metadata, we only handle
string, number, boolean and arrays of these. Previously, we would
fail to recognize an array of other types and that would cause
failures when attempting to process role mappings.
For user properties that are inherently single valued, like
principal(username) we continue to support arrays of strings where
we select the first one in case this is being depended on by users
but we plan on removing this leniency in the next major release.

This commit fixes our behavior regarding the responses we
return in various cases for the use of token related APIs.
More concretely:
- In the Get Token API with the `refresh` grant, when an invalid
(already deleted, malformed, unknown) refresh token is used in the
body of the request, we respond with `400` HTTP status code
and an `error_description` header with the message "could not
refresh the requested token".
Previously we would return erroneously return a `401` with "token
malformed" message.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when using an invalid (already
deleted, malformed, unknown) access or refresh token, we respond
with `404` and a body that shows that no tokens were invalidated:
```
{
"invalidated_tokens":0,
"previously_invalidated_tokens":0,
"error_count":0
}
```
The previous behavior would be to erroneously return
a `400` or `401` ( depending on the case ).
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index doesn't
exist or is closed, we return `400` because we assume this is
a user issue either because they tried to invalidate a token
when there is no tokens index yet ( i.e. no tokens have
been created yet or the tokens index has been deleted ) or the
index is closed.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index is
unavailable, we return a `503` status code because
we want to signal to the caller of the API that the token they
tried to invalidate was not invalidated and we can't be sure
if it is still valid or not, and that they should try the request
again.
Resolves: #53323
This change adds a new `kibana_admin` role, and deprecates
the old `kibana_user` and`kibana_dashboard_only_user`roles.
The deprecation is implemented via a new reserved metadata
attribute, which can be consumed from the API and also triggers
deprecation logging when used (by a user authenticating to
Elasticsearch).
Some docs have been updated to avoid references to these
deprecated roles.

This change adds documentation for the SAML APIs in Elasticsearch
and adds simple instructions on how these APIs can be used to
authenticate a user with SAML by a custom web application other
than Kibana.
Resolves: #40352
This commit allows the Transport Actions for the SSO realms to
indicate the realm that should be used to authenticate the
constructed AuthenticationToken. This is useful in the case that
many authentication realms of the same type have been configured
and where the caller of the API(Kibana or a custom web app) already
know which realm should be used so there is no need to iterate all
the realms of the same type.
The realm parameter is added in the relevant REST APIs as optional
so as not to introduce any breaking change.
This commit adds a configuration guide for the newly introduced
OpenID Connect realm. The guide is similar to the style of the
SAML Guide and shares certain parts where applicable (role mapping)
It also contains a short section on how the realm can be used for
authenticating users without Kibana.
