## Summary

This PR goes along with the changes in
elastic/integrations#17495 and
elastic/package-spec#1133 and allows Kibana to
utilize and render `sections` and `section` attributes from a package
manifest which allows users to declare section headers with defined
order, and then assign variables that belong under each header. Kibana
will then render the variables under the headers. The headers are
rendered as EuiTitles.

We previously added `section_headers` in
elastic#262129, but those were deemed too
flexible and mixed UI elements with vars, this makes UI elements and
vars more distinct and helps keep layouts more intact when users move
items around.

You may wonder how this differs from the existing `var_groups`, those
rely on a EuiSelect, which then renders fields based on the selected
option, this allows users to group items that always render, regardless
of selected options.

If no section is passed, fields will be rendered outside of the section
in the order in which they are added to the manifest, in the same way
they work before this PR.

NOTE: since this work is still underway, and there arent any
integrations using any section_headers yet, there is no risk in making
this change at this time. cc @jsoriano

_Additional (small) change: Removed the 'add your first integration'
splash screen for agentless default/preferred integrations. It doesnt
make a ton of sense to recommend that the user install elastic agent
when the integration is agentless preferred or default. We now check and
dont render the splash screen if so_

## Testing

In order to test, simply install this test integration and view the
