Updates models.md to match the new model management experience in Kibana 9.4. Users now manage models from Stack Management → Model management, which contains the Elastic inference and External inference screens. This PR:

  • Surfaces inference endpoints as the recommended way to add a model in 9.4 and later, with clear instructions for both Elastic-managed models (Elastic inference) and third-party providers (External inference).
  • Keeps Generative AI connectors documented as a still-supported, universal fallback that works on every deployment and version.
  • Drops "connector"-only framing from sections where the new UI talks in terms of models and endpoints.

Closes #6295

Could I get your eyes on this when you have a moment?

@pgayvallet — small bit of context in case it's been a while: you suggested adding an Inference endpoint glossary entry in #6175. We agreed to wait until models.md was rewritten for the 9.4 model management UI. That's done here, and the glossary entry is included.

@leemthompo — pulling you in for the Agent Builder 9.4 angle.

@lcawl — would love a sanity check on the inference-endpoint vs connector split in models.md.

Thank you!
