[DO NOT MERGE BEFORE FEATURE IS RELEASED IN SERVERLESS]

Fixes #4205

  1. Adds the step of naming your cloud connector to the 4 setup guides: CSPM for AWS, CSPM for Azure, Asset Discovery for AWS, Asset Discovery for Azure.
  2. Removes references to the former limitation that you could only use Cloud Connector deployment to collect data from AWS if your Kibana project was deployed on AWS.

@smriti0321, does the limitation in point 2 above still apply to version 9.2?

Keeping this as a draft for now until Smriti is back from PTO Dec 16 and can review

::::{important}
In order to use cloud connector for an AWS integration, your {{kib}} instance must be hosted on AWS. In other words, you must have chosen AWS hosting during {{kib}} setup.
::::
* To use a pre-existing cloud connector for this deployment, select **Existing connection** then the cloud connector's name.

Maybe we need to elaborate here what to expect under name for existing cloud connector. Since Cloud Connector name will be introduced in 9.3, for any cloud connector which was created before 9.3 in case of AWS the name will be Cloud Connector RoleARN and in case of Azure it will be Cloud Connector ID. If user wishes to rename the cloud connector to a more user friendly name they can do so by clicking edit button next to the selected cloud connector in the drop down, it leads to opening a flyout with cloud connector details and one can rename the cloud connector there.

I'm going to add some of this info to the Cloud connector general page, and link to it from here, but not include the info here so the instructions don't get too long.
