Feature:Saved Objects ManagementTeam:Coregood first issue

Description

The ftr tests for the saved objects management plugin use archives from 7.x, which isn't officially supported anymore.

While we've made the effort to update the saved objects migration test archives, the ftr fixtures haven't seen as much attention.

For example,import_saved_objects_between_versions claims to import saved objects from 7.13 to 8.0.

Research direction
Review the test archives in the saved objects management functional test directory, specifically the file `import saved objects between versions.ts`. Identify which archives (e.g., from 7.13) are outdated and need to be updated to reflect currently supported versions. Check the repository's supporting documentation or comments for which versions are supported. Ensure that after updating the archives, the tests still correctly verify the import/export behavior between supported versions.
