Update Semantic Search Tutorial to Use Elasticsearch Service and Remove References to Deprecated ELSER Service

[eshaffer321]

Added a deprecation warning to the “Tutorial: semantic search with semantic_text” to inform users that the elser service is deprecated as of version 8.16 and will be removed in a future release. The warning advises users to use the Elasticsearch inference service with model_id in service_settings instead. This update aligns the tutorial with the existing deprecation notice on the ELSER documentation page, ensuring clarity for users following the tutorial.

I think that rather than using a deprecation warning here, we should just change this tutorial to use the elasticsearch service. There is an example of this here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/infer-service-elasticsearch.html#inference-example-elasticsearch-elser

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve updated the tutorial to use the Elasticsearch service as suggested and removed the deprecation warning. Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like adjusted.
