This updates the "Create an API key" and "Update an API key" sections of the Elasticsearch API keys docs page to:

  • Describe the new way to create an API key from the global "Connection details" component (see https://github.com/elastic/platform-docs-team/issues/354)
  • Expand the docs a bit to explain which API key settings are configurable from where.
  • Refresh an outdated screencap, and also change it to show a user rather than cross-cluster API key, since I expect the former is the more common scenario.

I've also updated Serverless project API keys to show the new flyout and the changed name for the security settings ("Restrict privileges" → "Control security privileges").

@kevinsweet Sorry that it took us so long to get to this one!
