Remove Engineering Allocation for DB team

Nick Nguyen requested to merge nhxnguyen-master-patch-75139 into master

Why is this change being made?

When the 100% engineering allocation for the Database team was initially made, the DB was under heavy operational load and the team did not have a dedicated product manager. Since then:

  • The team completed crucial EA work such as addressing PK overflow risk
  • The team has a dedicated product manager
  • The DB stability work they are currently focused on is aligned with the product roadmap. See the 14.10 planning issue as an example.

This MR aims to reflect the current status of the team and signal that an engineering allocation is no longer needed since the reliability and stability improvements the team is working on is driven by both product and engineering.
