switch from esArchiver to saved objects API for .kibana data in functional tests #89368

Up next: Import the exported data and see if the tests pass, might have to data munge. |
Ok, so the first and second pr's are up. |
We've added all the required building blocks in 7.12 (#90178), but it might take some time for plugins to adopt it and enable their saved objects to be exported. Some plugins might also choose to use the |

The steps to switch from using esArchiver to the SO API would probably be;
