[7.x] Add kibana-system service account (#76449) (#76502)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This change introduces a Service Account for Kibana to use when
authenticating to Elasticsearch. The Service Account with
kibana service name under the elastic namespace,
uses the same RoleDescriptor as the existing kibana_system
built-in user and is its functional equivalent when it comes to
AuthZ.
