[DOCS] Threshold Rule actions can target aggregated fields directly #2016

Description

We currently describe a workaround for targeting aggregated fields in Threshold Rule actions (https://github.com/elastic/security-docs/blame/349c716ee595144230ed51869f3d318c220462c1/docs/detections/rules-ui-create.asciidoc#L166-L178), however that workaround is no longer necessary. As of elastic/kibana#94345 that step is no longer necessary, but we never removed the workaround from the docs.

We should remove this section from the docs, as users can more easily access the fields directly from the alert document, rather than use the threshold_result field copies.

Acceptance Test Criteria

As a user, when configuring an action for a Threshold Rule which aggregates on (e.g.) host.name, I can directly reference the host.name field from a generated alert when configuring action templates for the rule.

Notes
