Subject: [PATCH] [Index Management FTR] Improve delete indices test (#200941)

Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192351
Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/200660
Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/193599
Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192532

## Summary

This PR improves the IM functional test for indices table. In
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192351, the failure most likely
occurred because the webdriver tried to interact with elements that are
no longer in the DOM - in this case the index rows and table. To avoid
this, we are adding a try-catch for `StaleElementReferenceError` in the
`expectIndexIsDeleted` test helper. In
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/192351,
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/20066, and
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/193599, the error most likely
was caused because the check if an index row exists was performed before
the row element was removed from the DOM, therefore it was incorrectly
failing. To fix this, we are adding a retry so that the check is retried
in case it fails.
