[RAC][Rule Registry] Put index upgrade logic under a feature flag (#1…

…10592)

**Ticket:** #110594

## Summary

This PR adds a feature flag around the logic that finds existing Alerts as Data indices and upgrades the mappings or rolls the index if the mappings can't be upgraded in place.

**IMPORTANT:**

- **The feature flag is switched off by default**. This is intentional, because we need to **disable the upgrade logic in 7.15.0**.
- **This is a temporary measure**. We're going to work on fixing the index upgrade logic asap and ship it before the next release that makes any mapping changes, possibly as soon as 7.15.1.
- Developers will need to enable it in their local kibana configs this way:

    ```yaml
    xpack.ruleRegistry.unsafe.indexUpgrade.enabled: true
    ```

Please check the ticket for the background of this fix.
