Summary

This PR addresses #6879. Kibana #266672 removed the intermediate Select Data View page for AIOps tools and Data Visualizer pages, replacing it with an inline data source picker in the page header. Users now land directly on the analysis page and select or switch the data view (or saved Discover session) inline.

The docs never documented the intermediate page, breadcrumb level, or the indexDataVisualizerPage deep-link, so there was nothing to remove. The change is captured as a light, version-scoped addition where data source selection is described:

  • explore-analyze/machine-learning/machine-learning-in-kibana/xpack-ml-aiops.md: adds one stack: ga 9.5 / serverless: ga scoped sentence covering all three AIOps tools (Log rate analysis, Log pattern analysis, Change point detection), noting each opens directly on its analysis page with the picker in the page header.
  • explore-analyze/machine-learning/machine-learning-in-kibana.md: adds the same scoped note to the Data drift section.

Existing version-agnostic sentences ("you can select the data view or saved Discover session") are left untouched, since they remain accurate for earlier versions (cumulative docs model).

Scope notes

  • The selector-card and page-title renames from the PR ("Data Visualizer" → "Index data visualizer", "Select data view" → "Open data visualizer") live on the Data Visualizer selector page, which the docs don't document step-by-step. {{data-viz}} ("Data Visualizer") is the feature/app name and is unchanged in navigation, so no substitution change was made.
  • Rendered the note as a scoped sentence rather than a :::{tip} on the AIOps page to avoid stacking with the existing date-picker tip (consecutive admonitions aren't allowed).
  • Verified at HEAD (elastic/kibana): the MlDataSourcePicker still renders inline in the page header and switches the data source without navigating to a separate page. No follow-up or revert PRs.

Closes #6879

From 9.5 and in serverless, AIOps tools and the data drift view open
