Remove symlinked directories and excess files in /sites/blog

Lauren Barker requested to merge 8302-remove-symlinks-blog into master

Why is this change being made?

This change removes all symlinks under site/blog that were added to create a separate middle instance for just the blog.

This MR also removes the following files:

  • Removes sites/blog/config.rb
  • Removes extensions/partial_build_blog.rb because it's no longer needed

These files are being removed as part of the monorepo refactor preliminary separation and decoupling tasks. It will also prepare the repository for phase 1 of the www-gitlab-com monorepo refactor epic.

Removing these files also disable the possibility of running just the blog while developing locally.
