[Reporting] Add guidance to users on the new CSV export type #100363

@tsullivan

Description

@tsullivan

For 7.13, #88303 adds a new export type, export_types/csv_searchsource, for saving a search as CSV. It takes advantage of a more efficient and future-proof way to serialize the search params.

Meanwhile, the "old" CSV export code still exists in export_types/csv for backwards compatibility. If users have created automated CSV exports through Watcher in 7.12 or lower, their report jobs use the "old" parameters, and will only continue to work until 8.0.

Before then, we want them to migrate to export_types/csv_searchsource for 8.0 compatibility.

  1. Make sure there are warnings logged in the Kibana server logs when an export_types/csv job is created.
  2. Add a tooltip to the Reporting Management UI to notify users about reports that were created using legacy job params
  3. Use the deprecation service to alert admins before upgrading to 8.0 if they have existing CSV reports that were created using legacy job params.
