Document the reason for skipped APM tests

miloszmarcinkowski commented 20 hours ago

Closes #199843

Summary

This PR documents the reason for skipped Indices diagnostics API tests to avoid confusion in the future. APM diagnostics is an experimental internal tool. Indices diagnostics determine whether ingest pipelines were installed correctly by verifying the presence of the observer.version field in grok processor, this approach isn't reliable anymore. We should consider implementing improvement or sunsetting the feature if there is no maintainer.
