Kibana: [APM][UI] Broken link in Transaction Metadata page

[P1llus]

On the newest stable (7.6.1) If you open up APM, open a service, click on a single Transaction, browse all the way down, and change it to the Metadata tab, there is a link called "How to add labels and other data"(see screenshot below, bottom right corner, by filter).

Expected Behavior
The link should go to the expected metadata page for that version, but it is adding 7.6.1 instead of 7.6 in the URL.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/get-started/7.6/metadata.html

Current Behavior
The link to our documentation returns a 404.

This sounds similar to https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/56453

This will most likely be fixed when we move to NP. The cause of the problem is that we are using a shimmed value for packageInfo:

@ogupte were you planning to replace the shims for 7.7 or 7.8?

[smith]

@sqren we're replacing the shims for 7.8. I'll tag this issue accordingly.

@ogupte were you planning to replace the shims for 7.7 or 7.8?

@sqren Originally targeted 7.7 for this, but will prioritize early in 7.8 development cycle.

Let's make sure that for 7.6.1 and 7.7.0 that all documentation links are not broken. If they are not broken, we'll do this in 7.8, otherwise fix now.

[smith]

The packageInfo is going to give us major.minor.patch whether or not we're using the new platform.

We should fix the ElasticDocsLink component to just use major/minor.

Going to tag this for 7.7 and open a PR that does that.
