Remove outdated field statistics mentions from docs (#3024)
Fields statistics support for ES|QL was [removed in 8.17](elastic/kibana#197538) and the information never made its way to the docs. This PRs fixes this by: - removing mentions of field statistics panels in Dashboards docs - adding a note that field statistics aren't available in ES|QL mode in Discover. They're still there in KQL mode As the changes get confirmed, I'll create a corresponding PR for relevant 8.x docs Closes: #3027
