Miscellaneous App / Arch items 👉 New Platform

[lukeelmers]

Part of #31968

So far, the bulk of the code we have focused on migrating to the new platform either lives as a plugin or as a ui/public module. However, there are a handful of pieces such as utilities and one-off server endpoints which will also need to be migrated.

The purpose of this meta issue is to track these miscellaneous, "smaller" items that @elastic/kibana-app-arch will need to migrate to the new platform. This ensures we have a comprehensive list of everything we are aware of that needs to be reviewed.

As far as I can tell, QueryString.encode is identical to querystring.stringify and QueryString.decode the same as querystring.parse, using the querystring lib that we already import in Kibana (we were using it in APM, at least). I've switched the infra (metrics/logs) usages of these functions over to querystring and haven't had problems yet. If others need to be unblocked on that util import, that's one option.

@lukeelmers Not sure whether this is the right place, but src/legacy/ui/public/visualize/loader/pipeline_helpers/utilities.ts is currently referenced by Lens. We should think about how to expose it in the future.
