Hi, I want to add new properties to kibana.yml file. When I add new properties to the file, I get an error while running "yarn kbn bootstrap" saying those properties are not valid. I would like to know what all places to should do changes in the code when we add new properties to kibana.yml. Thanking you. ---

New configuration properties can be added via the core `ConfigService`. [This guide for migrating from our legacy to new platform](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core/MIGRATION.md#configure-plugin) has a pretty detailed explanation of how to add configs, and how to expose them to the client if necessary. Each of the properties added in your `configSchema` are then able to be set in the `kibana.yml` ---
