Kibana version: 7.10.1

Elasticsearch version: 7.10.1

Server OS version: Unknown as Cloud on GCP

Browser version: Firefox 84.0.1

Browser OS version: MacOS 10.15.7

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): Elasticsearch Service

Describe the bug: The help link to the documentation from the Vega editor's (?) icon returns 404.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Menu: Kibana > Visualize
  2. Button: Create visualization
  3. Type: Vega
  4. Use the small help icon (?) and select the Kibana Vega help link
  5. The link opens https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/vega-graph.html which returns a 404 page not found error

Expected behavior: Link to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/vega-reference.html where the version number matches the version of Kibana similar to the help icon () in the top menu bar.

Screenshots (if relevant):

Link opens to a page that states

404
Well, that about wraps it up for this page

`I refuse to prove that I exist,’ says Page, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.’

`But,’ says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.’

`Oh dear,’ says Page, `I hadn’t thought of that,’ and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.

Errors in browser console (if relevant): N/A

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant): N/A

Any additional context: I think this has been broken for at least a few releases now.

Thanks for opening this @a03nikki! We'll wrap in this fix with the other broken links closer to the 7.11 release date.

This link is currently wrong, but I'm testing to make sure it will get
caught if it's included in this file. A future commit will actually use
this variables in vega_help_menu.tsx, and update the link in
`doc_links_service.ts` to be correct.

This is part of a fix for elastic#87367

It looks like, starting in 7.11, the page is just https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.11/vega.html
