Fix root-cause-analysis.md workflow example#6393

Conversation
External customer Mirko Bez reported that the published RCA workflow
doesn't run when copy-pasted in 9.4. Two underlying bugs, confirmed by
engineering (Marco Liberati, Sergi Massaneda):
1. ai.agent takes 'message:' inside 'with:', not 'prompt:'.
2. Liquid templating only resolves inside 'with:' for custom steps.
Top-level fields (agent-id, connector-id, conversation-id) are
passed through literally, so '{{ consts.agent_id }}' was never
evaluated.
Apply Tinsae's recommended fix from the Slack thread:
- Replace 'prompt:' with 'message:' for the three ai.agent invocations
(six occurrences across the stepper and full-workflow YAML).
- Default to a literal 'agent-id: elastic-ai-agent' across the page;
drop the 'consts:' block that previously held agent_id and
connector_id.
- Drop 'connector-id:' from the ai.agent examples (the agent already
encodes its connector).
- Move top-level 'conversation-id:' (kebab-case) into 'with:' as
'conversation_id:' (snake_case), matching the ai.agent reference
page.
- Update the SRE agent prerequisite to point at 'elastic-ai-agent' as
the generic default.
Closes #6392. Tracked under #6390 (the broader audit of related
ai.agent / ai.* templating issues, pending engineering review).
Engine-side bug for the templating limitation:
elastic/security-team#17236.
