[DOCS] Add tip for Kibana anonymous authentication (elastic#73858)
You shouldn't use Elasticsearch's anonymous access to provide access to Kibana without requiring credentials. Instead, you should use Kibana's anonymous authentication feature. However, the Elasticsearch anonymous access tends to be more popular in search results. This adds a brief tip that directs users to Kibana's anonymous authentication feature. Closes elastic#73022
