[DOCS] SQL: Update link for supported regex in `RLIKE` docs (#55830)

The`RLIKE` function docs points users to [Java’s Pattern class doc][0]
for regular expression syntax. However, these docs include shorthand
character classes, such as `[\d]`, `[\s]`, and `[\w]`. These character
classes are not supported in Elasticsearch, which may confuse users.

This updates the SQL `RLIKE` docs to refer to the ES [regular expression
syntax docs][1], which only documents supported syntax.

 *Description*: This operator is similar to `LIKE`, but the user is not limited to search for a string based on a fixed pattern with the percent sign (`%`)
 and underscore (`_`); the pattern in this case is a regular expression which allows the construction of more flexible patterns.
