Documents limitations for EQL in ES.

The page is intended to capture EQL functionality as set out in "Milestone 1" of #49581. I will continue to update the page as we support new syntax, find new limitations, etc.

Will backport to 7.x branch.

LGTM.
I don't know the plan and date for moving EQL documentation fully into elasticsearch and removing https://eql.readthedocs.io. When that happens, what happens to the external links?

@rw-access Great question.

We'll be able to remove most of the links as part of "Milestone 2" of #49581. By then, we expect ES to support most EQL features and our ES EQL syntax docs will be more robust.

This limitations page may be the exception as we don't plan to support some features, such as lineage keywords or array functions, in the near future.
