This is a pre-cursor to #58529

I realized a bit ago that we weren't making quite enough info available
in the action parameter templating that happens when alerts schedule
actions to execute. Missing were alert name, tags, and spaceId.

For the index threshold alert, I had added them to it's context, but
then every other action would have to do the same if they also
wanted those values.

So I added these as additional top-level variables that can be
used in templates, along with the alert id, alert instance id,
context, and state. The other bits in RawAlert didn't seem
that interesting, to be used as an action parameter.

Changes LGTM, I wonder if we need to reach out to solution teams about potential breaking changes? (since I believe this removes some fields from context)

I think it's just a breaking change for the index threshold alertType - removal of some of the context variables, which are now available as top-level variables instead of under context. At this early stage of it's usage, seems like a breaking change like this is ok.

We could add them back to the indexThreshold alert type, in their description (in PR #59756 ) we could note them as "deprecated" or something.

Or maybe I missed something, in terms of a breaking change. My intention was to only have a breaking change to the indexThreshold alertType's context variables.

Doh! You are right, this is index threshold specific! I somehow thought x-pack/plugins/alerting_builtins/server/alert_types/index_threshold/action_context.ts was not index threshold related (didn't read the path 🙈 ).

All good!
