[Docs] Document the Add Data UI Feature  #6851

Description

@palecur This will be my first major contribution to the Kibana docs, so I may need some help.

Any rule of thumb for how detailed the docs should be? Once the user gets into each wizard, it should hopefully be somewhat self explanatory with the addition of inline help. For the pipeline creation step in particular, how much should we explain vs linking off to the Elasticsearch docs since most of the UI is a CRUD interface for the ingest node processors?

Here's my rough idea of what needs to be updated.

Todo:

  • Put extensive documentation on the wizard pages themselves. The user shouldn't have to context switch to the docs for almost anything.
  • Update "Getting Started With Kibana" section to instruct the user to navigate to the "Existing Indices" section to create their first index pattern (since it's no longer the first page they'll see).
  • Mention that the Add Data wizards exist
