Discover Document Table Cleanup

[weltenwort]

This is a meta ticket to track the progress of the discover document table cleanup, which will be spread across multiple pull requests.

Goals

The goal of this cleanup is to resolve several problems arising from the unfortunate way in which the discover document table is rendered and in which it interacts with other parts of Kibana:

• displayed information are outdated under certain circumstances (such as highlighting changes Highlighting appears sticky when doc_table is open #9729)
• incremental enhancements to the table are difficult due to strong coupling between constituents
• business logic is duplicated and spread throughout the constituents (such as column changes, sorting, etc) making the table rigid and brittle in the face of changes
• stylesheets are mostly inherited from bootstrap and couple the constituents even stronger
• rendering code is a mix of angular templates, lodash templates and jquery dom manipulation

After the cleanup the following statements about the document table should be true:

• the content of the table is always consistent and up-to-date
• the table is rendered as a hierarchy of clean react components
• business logic is separate from the view logic
• stylesheets minimize the coupling by adhering to the BEM convention as introduced by the Kibana ui framework

Progress

• Factor out column manipulation in the doc table #10681 Factor out column manipulation in the doc table
• Factor out sorting in the doc table #10924 Factor out sorting in the doc table
• Render the doc table using a clean component hierarchy
