Do not apply the filter trigger action if filter bar is not present

[stratoula]

Describe the feature:
Right now we have visualizations that do not support the filter bar. (showFilterBar is set to false). TSVB is a great example of it. There is an enhancement that we want to add to TSVB (#83892) to enable the filter by clicking on the timeseries visualization.

This filtering should work only when a TSVB visualization is embedded on a dashboard (and the showFilterBar is set to true) but now when a user is creating/editing it.

As it is right now, I can't differentiate it and the filtering works even if the filter bar is not present. We would like to enhance the trigger action to be only considered compatible when the filter bar exists on the page. The same should happen for the timepicker.

I think there is a similar problem on a dashboard: Dashboard could be displayed without a filter bar, but filters could be applied via actions from embeddable.

filter bar is just showing the state of filter manager. its possible to have your own implementation of filter bar so it being shown or not should not be a deciding factor.

we could disable filtering completely on the filter manager if that's desired.

we could also disable the action that applies the filter in the apps that we don't want to allow adding filters thru actions

I think this should somehow be solved with a new condition check inside apply filter action:

kibana/src/plugins/data/public/actions/apply_filter_action.ts

Line 27 in 2d05d9f

return context.filters !== undefined;

Apps should continue using triggers as is, but this global action should not be compatible in this particular case.
