[DOCS] Add details to xpack.fleet.outputs settings (elastic#154247)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This updates the [Fleet settings in
Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/fleet-settings-kb.html)
page with details for the `xpack.fleet.outputs` settings.

@nchaulet and @jeanfabrice In addition to what we discussed I updated
the `is_default` setting as well, but it probably could use some fixing
up (i.e., is the setting for "all non-monitoring data" or something
else)?

Preview:
