[Security Solution] [Cypress] SAML for Serverless login and role test…

…ing (#172655)

Relates to:
* #166340
* #170852
* #170417
* #172678

## Summary

In this PR we are using the code implemented on
#170417 and
#172678 to allow SAML and role
testing inside Cypress.

* We are creating a Cypress task to use the above-developed code and be
able to retrieve a session cookie given a role.
* We updated the login task to know how we should perform the login
depending if we are in Serverless (MKI or serverless FTR) or ESS
* In the parallel serverless script:
* We are updating the `BASE_ENV_URL` variable to use the proper QA
environment (pending to be done in follow-up PRs, to extract this value
so it is not hardcoded cc @dkirchan )
* We are adding the `IS_SERVERLESS` environment variable needed for the
logic on the login task. This changed implied to update the
`es_archiver` file to continue work as expected.
* We have added the `TEST_CLOUD_HOST_NAME` environment variable needed
for the code we are reusing to retrieve the session cookie for MKI.
* We have updated the Security Solution quality gate script to set the
`role_users.json` file needed by the code we are reusing to get the
different session cookies on MKI
* We have adjusted the tests because the username now follows the
pattern `test <role>` (@dmlemeshko is it possible to have as username
just the role? Is this something that can impact other tests and teams?)
* We have [skipped](#173168) a
test that got unstable after the changes.

## How to test it in your machine

### Serverless FTR

1. Navigate to `x-pack/test/security_solution_cypress`
2. Execute `yarn cypress:open:qa:serverless`
3. Click on `E2E testing`
4. Click on any test to execute it


### Serverless MKI

Setup a valid Elastic Cloud API key for QA environment:

1. Navigate to QA environment.
2. Click on the `User menu button` located on the top right of the
header.
3. Click on `Organization`.
5. Click on the `API keys` tab.
6. Click on `Create API key` button.
7. Add a name, set an expiration date, assign an organization owner
role.
8. Click on `Create API key`
9. Save the value of the key

Store the saved key on `~/.elastic/cloud.json` using the following
format:

```json
{
  "api_key": {
    "qa": "<API_KEY>"
  }
}
```

Store the email and password of the account you used to login in the QA
Environment at the root directory of your Kibana project on
`.ftr/role_users.json`, using the following format:

```json
{
  "admin": {
    "email": "<email>",
    "password": "<password>"
  }
}
```

If you want to execute a test with a role different from the default
one, make sure you have created the user under your organization and is
added to the above json following the format:

```json
{
  "admin": {
    "email": "<email>",
    "password": "<password>"
  },
  "<roleName>": {
    "email": "<email>",
    "password": "<password>"
  }
}
```

1. Navigate to `x-pack/test/security_solution_cypress`
2. Execute `yarn cypress:open:qa:serverless`
3. Click on `E2E testing`
4. Click on any test to execute it

-#### Known limitations 
-- Currently RBAC cannot be tested.
+Store the email and password of the account you used to login in the QA Environment at the root directory of your Kibana project on `.ftr/role_users.json`, using the following format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "admin": {
+    "email": "<email>",
+    "password": "<password>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Testing with different roles 
+
+If you want to execute a test using Cypress on visual mode with MKI, you need to make sure you have the user created in your organization, and add it tot he `.ftr/role_users.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "admin": {
+    "email": "<email>",
+    "password": "<password>"
+  },
+  "<roleName>": {
+    "email": "<email>",
+    "password": "<password>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+As role names please use:
+- admin
+- detections_admin
+- editor
+- endpoint_operations_analyst
+- endpoint_policy_manager
+- none
+- platform_engineer
+- rule_author
+- soc_manager
+- t1_analyst
+- t2_analyst
+- t3_analyst
+- threat_intelligence_analyst
+- viewer
+
+The above should be the same used on the automation.
