This PR closes https://github.com/elastic/docs-content-internal/issues/543 and adds the new can_read_param_values sub-feature privilege for 9.x docs. It enables administrators to grant read access to Global Parameter values without requiring superuser or kibana_admin roles.

@jasonrhodes I've added this info to the Work with params and secrets docs, but if we don't want to broadcast it so widely, we can remove that section and only mention it in the warning on the same page.

content LGTM. Also curious to hear from Jason on whether we want to broadcast this feature or not.

Hi @shahzad31, I will update the 8.19 docs in a different PR since those docs are in a different repo.
