Append DevTool commands automatically prefix Space (#140443) (#143590)

In DevTools, if you go to run `kbn:/s/foo/api/MY_REQUEST` then IF default space you effectively run `KIBANA/s/foo/api/MY_REQUEST` BUT IF non-default space e.g. `admin` you end up running `KIBANA/s/admin/s/foo/api/MY_REQUEST` which is invalid. This is not pointed out in Dev Tools and since this page updated to the emphasize the DevTools example, this is tripping up more users who think it should work via this page.
