[Unified Search] Flip newDateRangePickerEnabled feature flag fallback to true (elastic#264743)

## Summary

This makes the new time picker the default in Discover and Dashboards.

It flips the fallback of the `unifiedSearch.newDateRangePickerEnabled`
feature flag to `true`, so the new `DateRangePicker` becomes the default
when the flag isn't explicitly configured.

See elastic#260163 

To opt back into the legacy `EuiSuperDatePicker` locally, you can
override the flag in `config/kibana.dev.yml`:

```yaml
feature_flags.overrides:
  unifiedSearch.newDateRangePickerEnabled: false
```

## Changes

Follow-up commits on this branch also fix FTR/snapshot fallout from the
flip:

- `_esql_view.ts` (stateful + serverless): replaced hard-coded
`superDatePickerToggleQuickMenuButton` checks with
`timePicker.timePickerExists()` (both picker paths). Specs already had
`// TODO`s for exactly this change.
- `dashboard_controls` light/dark snapshots: regenerated baselines to
reflect the new picker's duration badge on dashboards.
- `ccs_compatibility/_cancel_results.ts` (ES|QL subtest): made the query
submit explicit so it no longer depends on the legacy picker's internal
`querySubmitButton` click.

the comments below.

### Identify risks

Users who have not explicitly set the flag will now see the new
DateRangePicker in place of the legacy `EuiSuperDatePicker`. This is the
entire point of the flag — a staged rollout — so the risk is limited to
UX differences between the two pickers (e.g. the new picker's duration
badge, which required snapshot baseline updates here).
