Describe the feature:

Recently we added the support of creation of where filters when we are clicking on a:

  • table cell
  • row viewer
  • sidebar

This is very cool but if the user has selected a different chart type (for example a tagcloud) and then clicks to add a filter then the user's selection chart type is being lost and the default one is being rendered (which is usually an XY chart). This happens also in a saved search.

Ideally we dont want filtering to change our chart configuration.

@jughosta not sure how easy it will be to accomplish that but it would be very cool 😍

The chart style gets reset when query changes. It's the case here too as "where" clause gets added. Need to think what kind of special handling we could add for the check on query change.

I was thinking about it. Maybe we should check if the chart used columns (fields) exist in the updates query. In case they do, we should not change the chart type. The suggestions api has the preferredChartType property that we can possibly use.

## Summary

Closes #184631

It keeps the chart configuration when the user is doing actions
compatible with the current query such as:

- Adding a where filter (by clicking the table, the sidebar, the chart)
- Changes the breakdown field and the field type is compatible with the
current chart
- Changing to a compatible chart type (from example from bar to line or
pie to treemap)
- Changing the query that doesnt affect the generated columns mapped to
a chart. For example adding a limit or creating a runtime field etc.

The logic depends on the suggestions. If the suggestions return the
preferred chart type, then we are going to use this. So it really
depends on the api and the type / number of columns. It is as smarter as
it can in order to not create bugs. I am quite happy with the result. It
is much better than what we have so far.

### Next steps
I would love to do the same on the dahsboard too, needs more time
though. But the changes made here will def work in favor

### Checklist

- [x] [Unit or functional
tests](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/development-tests.html)
were updated or added to match the most common scenarios
- [x] [Flaky Test
Runner](https://ci-stats.kibana.dev/trigger_flaky_test_runner/1) was
used on any tests changed
