Redirects to Logged Out UI on SAML Logout Response #69676

Previously Kibana redirected users to a default location as the last step of a SAML User/SP Initiated Single Logout (SP SLO), which forced users to log in again when the Login Selector UI was not available. Now, Kibana redirects users to either the Login Selector UI or the Logged Out UI at the end of SP SLO.
