This updates two ES|QL pages so they match the Discover docs restructure in elastic/docs-content#9014.

  • Getting started with ES|QL: the Discover steps no longer tell readers to select Try ES|QL and refer to a "query bar". On serverless and stack 9.6 and later, Discover opens in ES|QL mode. In other versions the menu item is Query in ES|QL (Try ES|QL before 9.4).
  • Limitations: the variable controls link points to the new page. The 50-column line now says it applies to the columns Discover shows by default for KEEP, STATS, and PROMQL queries. The CSV line says 10,000 rows is the default and links to the page that lists the limits per version and deployment.

Pending links

This PR links to explore-analyze/discover/esql-variable-controls.md#add-variable-control and explore-analyze/discover/export-discover-session.md#export-discover-session-csv in docs-content. Both exist only after elastic/docs-content#9014 merges, so this PR stays a draft until then.
