Since 7.3, it's possible to explicitly configure the SAML realm to
be used in Kibana's configuration. This in turn, eliminates the need
of properly setting xpack.security.public.* settings in Kibana
and largely simplifies relevant documentation.
Also, xpack.security.authProviders was deprecated in
favor of xpack.security.authc.providerin 7.3 in Kibana.

This change reflects these changes in our SAML Guide.

Since 7.3, it's possible to explicitly configure the SAML realm to
be used in Kibana's configuration. This in turn, eliminates the need
of properly setting `xpack.security.public.*` settings in Kibana
and largely simplifies relevant documentation.
This also changes `xpack.security.authProviders` to
`xpack.security.authc.providers` as the former was deprecated in
favor of the latter in 7.3 in Kibana
