Remove object storage direct_upload and background_upload configs

What does this MR do?

In gitlab-com/gl-infra&734 (closed), we are trying to remove background upload completely. The announcement was published in 14.9 deprecation note. Feature removal is also scheduled in 15.0. Rails codebase is ignoring both background_upload and direct_upload configurations of Object Storage after gitlab-org/gitlab!86905 (merged) is merged. So, it's time to remove those configurations in Omnibus and CNG.

Fortunately, GitLab helm chart favors direct_upload. So the removal should not yield any effects.
