Changes boilerplate sentence of "If using a field as the argument, this
parameter only supports..." to "...this parameter supports only...".
The latter is a bit more clear and readable.
EQL functions are an easy way for users to transform indexed data
at search time. However, using multiple functions can make
queries difficult to write and slows search speeds.
Users can circumvent this by indexing fields containing the transformed
data, but that usually slows index speeds.
This adds a related tip and example covering these tradeoffs.
Adds documentation for the EQL `substring` function.
Supporting changes:
* Creates a new "EQL function reference" page
* Updates the title of the "EQL syntax reference" page for consistency
* Adds a brief "Functions" section to the EQL syntax docs
* Updates EQL limitations docs to state that only array functions are
unsupported
Adds a tip admonition to the basic example in the EQL search docs.
This tip lets users know they can set up a Beat to automatically
index data in ES, rather than manually indexing using the bulk or index
APIs.
Adds documentation for the `any` keyword to the EQL syntax docs.
Includes:
* Definition of an event category and its relationship to the event
category field.
* Example matching all event categories using `any` keyword
* Example using `any` with `where true`
Updates the documented default `event_category_field` and `timestamp_field`
values for the EQL search API. Also updates related guidance in the
EQL requirement docs.
Relates to #53073.
Makes the following updates to the EQL search tutorial:
* Adds an API response to the basic tutorial
* Adds an example using the `event_type_field` parm
* Adds an example using the `timestamp_field`parm
* Adds an example using the `query` parm
* Updates example dataset to support more EQL query variety
Add query execution and return actual results returned from
Elasticsearch inside the tests
(cherry picked from commit 3e039282bf991af87604a6d4f8eada19d5e33842)
I plan to add additional sections to this page with future PRs:
* Specify timestamp and event type fields
* Specify a join key field
* Filter using query DSL
* Paginate a large response
See #51057.
Adds documentation for basic EQL syntax.
Joins, sequences, and other syntax to be added as its supported
in future development.

* Creates a top-level page for EQL in the ES reference.
This page contains a high-level introduction and will include a nav for other EQL docs pages as they're built.
* Creates a requirements page.
This page outlines the fields needed to use EQL in ES.
