* Add "synthetics-*-*" templates for synthetics fleet data
For the Elastic Agent we currently have `logs` and `metrics`, however, synthetic data doesn't belong
with those and thus we should have a place for it to live. This would be data reported from
heartbeat and under the 'monitoring' category.
This commit adds a composable index template for `synthetics-*-*` indices similar to the work in
#56709 and #57629.
Resolves#61665
Adds an important admonition for the built-in `metrics-*-*` and `logs-*-*` index
templates.
Updates several put index template snippets to include a priority.
Uses `my-data-stream` in place of `logs` for data stream examples.
This provides a more intuitive experience for users that copy/paste
their own values into snippets.
Removes the `@timestamp` field mapping from several data stream index
template snippets.
With #59317, the `@timestamp` field defaults to a `date` field data type
for data streams.
This makes the data_stream timestamp field specification optional when
defining a composable template.
When there isn't one specified it will default to `@timestamp`.

This adds a low precendece mapping for the `@timestamp` field with
type `date`.
This will aid with the bootstrapping of data streams as a timestamp
mapping can be omitted when nanos precision is not needed.

Replaces `composable index template` and `composable template` with
`index template` throughout data stream-related docs.
`Composable index template` is only used to contrast with legacy index
templates.
With #58096, data streams now track the timestamp field mapping outside
of the template associated with the stream. This means you can no longer
update the timestamp field mapping using template changes.
This updates the associated data stream docs.
Changes:
* Adds additional examples to the `Search a data stream` section of
`Use a data stream`
* Updates existing search docs to make them aware of data streams
Adds corresponding steps for the get and delete data stream APIs to the
data stream setup tutorial. Also provides some guidance on how to
determine the current write index for a data stream.
Changes:
* Adds new 'Reindex with a data stream' section to 'Use a data stream'
* Makes the existing reindex API docs aware of data streams
* Rewrites the reindex glossary definition to include data streams
Changes:
* Updates 'Data streams' intro page to focus on problem solution and
benefits.
* Adds 'Data streams overview' page to cover conceptual information,
based on existing content in the 'Data streams' intro.
* Adds diagrams for data streams and search/indexing request examples.
* Moves API jump list and API docs to a new 'Data streams APIs' section.
Links to these APIs will be available through tutorials.
* Add xrefs to existing docs for concepts like generation, write index,
and append-only.
Creates a new page for a 'Set up a data stream' tutorial, based on
existing content in 'Data streams'.
Also adds tutorials for:
* Configuring an ILM policy for a data stream
* Indexing documents to a data stream
* Searching a data stream
* Manually rolling over a data stream
