Fix APM ES config documentation to correctly indicate applicability to both binary and Fleet-managed deployments (#3343)
## Problem
The APM Elasticsearch output configuration documentation incorrectly
indicated that it only applies to APM Server binary users and not
Fleet-managed users. This was misleading because the ES configuration
options described are actually applicable to both deployment methods.
## Solution
Updated the documentation to correctly reflect that:
- The configuration options apply to **both** APM Server binary and
Fleet-managed users
- The YAML configuration examples are specific to binary users
- Fleet-managed users should configure these same APM-specific ES output
settings through the Fleet UI
- These APM-specific settings are distinct from the general Fleet ES
output settings
## Changes Made
1. **Updated deployment indicator**: Changed from
`observability-binary-yes-fm-no.svg` to
`observability-binary-yes-fm-yes.svg` to show support for both
deployment methods
2. **Revised note text**: Clarified that while the configs apply to both
methods, the configuration approach differs:
- Binary users: Configure via YAML (as shown in examples)
- Fleet-managed users: Configure via Fleet UI (not the general Fleet ES
output settings)
## Impact
This fix ensures users understand that the valuable APM-specific
Elasticsearch output configurations documented in this page are
available to all APM users, regardless of their deployment method.
Fleet-managed users will no longer be incorrectly directed away from
APM-specific settings to general Fleet settings.

Fleet-managed users should see [Configure the Elasticsearch
output](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/fleet/elasticsearch-output).

docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/apm-server/configure-elasticsearch-output)
are applicable to both standalone and fleet-managed, but the way to
configure them through yaml is specific to standalone. Fleet-managed APM
needs to configure the [APM ES output configs

[Fleet ES output
configs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/fleet/elasticsearch-output))

This documentation only applies to APM Server binary users. Fleet-managed users should see [Configure the {{es}} output](/reference/fleet/elasticsearch-output.md).

The configuration options described here apply to both APM Server binary and Fleet-managed users, but how they are specified varies:

***APM Server binary users**: Use the syntax in YAML configuration examples shown below in your configuration file.

***Fleet-managed users**: Use the same APM-specific {{es}} output settings outlined below, but [configure them in the Fleet UI](/reference/fleet/fleet-settings.md#output-settings).
