[performance] enable journey run against cloud deployments (elastic#1…

…56720)

## Summary

This PR adds changes and instructions how to run existing performance
journeys against ESS instances.

As previously discussed with @pheyos , there are few manual steps to be
done before running the actual journey:
1. Create cloud deployment and re-configure it the way APM traces are
reported the monitoring cluster
2. Check out the branch matching deployment version (main ->
8.9.0-SNAPSHOT), create user with `superuser` role (we don't test
functional features, only performance metrics)

Then you can run the journey like a regular cloud test suite:
```
export TEST_KIBANA_URL=https://<username>:<password>@<kibana_url>
export TEST_ES_URL=https://<username>:<password>@j<elasticsearch_url>:<port>
export TEST_CLOUD=1
node scripts/functional_test_runner.js --config x-pack/performance/journeys/$YOUR_JOURNEY_NAME.ts
```

+
+## Overview
+As a way to better understand user experience with Kibana in cloud, we support running performance journeys against
+Cloud deployments.
+The process takes a few steps:
+- Create a cloud deployment
+- Re-configure deployment with APM enabled and reporting metrics to the monitoring cluster
+- Create a user with `superuser` role to run tests with
+- Checkout the branch that matches your cloud deployment version
+- Run the performance journey
+
+### Re-configure deployment for Kibana and Elasticsearch
+We use [kibana-ops-e2e-perf](https://kibana-ops-e2e-perf.kb.us-central1.gcp.cloud.es.io/) cluster to monitor performance testing.
+
+If you would like to report APM metrics to this cluster, copy `SECRET_TOKEN` and `SERVER_URL` values from [packages/kbn-journeys/journey/journey_apm_config.ts](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/60c82765779419d356a131e212682b69b035804b/packages/kbn-journeys/journey/journey_apm_config.ts#L10-L11)
+
+#### Change Elasticsearch configuration
+In the ESS Admin Console, find your deployment and navigate to `Security` page. Click `Add Settings` under `Elasticsearch keystore` and add new entry:
+
+```
+Setting name: tracing.apm.secret_token
+Secret: <SECRET_TOKEN>
+```
+
+Navigate to `Advanced Edit` page and change `Deployment Configuration` by adding the following JSON object to `resources.elasticsearch.plan.elasticsearch`:
+
+```
+"user_settings_override_json": {
+  "tracing.apm.enabled": "true",
+  "tracing.apm.environment": "development",
+  "tracing.apm.agent.service_name": "elasticsearch",
+  "tracing.apm.agent.server_url": "<SERVER_URL>",
+  "tracing.apm.agent.metrics_interval": "120s",
+  "tracing.apm.agent.transaction_sample_rate": "1"
+}
+```
+
+Save changes and make sure cluster is restarted successfully.
+
+#### Change Kibana configuration
+Navigate to `Advanced Edit` page and change `Deployment Configuration` by adding the following JSON object to `resources.kibana.plan.kibana`:
+
+```
+"user_settings_override_json": {
+  "elastic.apm.active": true,
+  "elastic.apm.breakdownMetrics": false,
+  "elastic.apm.captureBody": "all",
+  "elastic.apm.captureRequestHeaders": "true",
+  "elastic.apm.captureSpanStackTraces": false,
+  "elastic.apm.centralConfig": false,
+  "elastic.apm.contextPropagationOnly": "false",
+  "elastic.apm.environment": "development",
+  "elastic.apm.globalLabels.deploymentId": "<DEPLOYMENT_ID>",
+  "elastic.apm.globalLabels.journeyName": "<YOUR_JOURNEY_NAME>",
+  "elastic.apm.longFieldMaxLength": "300000",
+  "elastic.apm.metricsInterval": "120s",
+  "elastic.apm.propagateTracestate": true,
+  "elastic.apm.sanitizeFieldNames": "password,passwd,pwd,secret,*key,*token*,*session*,*credit*,*card*,*auth*,set-cookie,pw,pass,connect.sid",
+  "elastic.apm.secretToken": "<SECRET_TOKEN>",
+  "elastic.apm.serverUrl": "<SERVER_URL>",
+  "elastic.apm.transactionSampleRate": 1
+}
+```
+
+Note: DEPLOYMENT_ID and YOUR_JOURNEY_NAME values are optional labels to find the APM traces for your run.
+
+Save changes and make sure cluster is restarted successfully.
+
+### Run the journey
+Make sure you have created user with `superuser` role and the Kibana repo branch is matching your deployment version.
+Set env variables to run FTR against your cloud deployment:
+
+```
+export TEST_KIBANA_URL=https://<username>:<password>@<kibana_url>
+export TEST_ES_URL=https://<username>:<password>@<elasticsearch_url>:<port>
+export TEST_CLOUD=1
+```
+
+Run your journey with the command:
+
+```
+node scripts/functional_test_runner.js --config x-pack/performance/journeys/$YOUR_JOURNEY_NAME.ts`
+```
