[Doc] Kibana Saved Objects Allowed Types

[stefnestor]

👋🏼 elastic/support-diagnostics#479 (comment) documents an API endpoint I've validated on 7.17.0 which AFAICT doesn't exist in docs. Is this endpoint considered internal or may we add it to Kibana Docs? I find it useful to know eligible Saved Object types.

GET /api/kibana/management/saved_objects/_allowed_types

Example response

/api/kibana/management/saved_objects/_allowed_types was meant to be internal. To even go further, all /api/kibana/management/saved_objects/* routes are supposed to be only internally used by the SavedObjectManagement plugin, but these routes existed before we even came to the /api vs /internal distinction, so when we migrated the plugin during the KibanaPlatform migration, we kept the /api prefix.

Ah, gotcha 😂. Well it's a lovely find for me. Cheers!
