Remove `config.action_dispatch.use_authenticated_cookie_encryption` configuration

What does this MR do?

There have been no major problems with our Rails 5.2 upgrade and I think we're at a point where we're not reverting that upgrade. So this should be safe to remove.

This enables Rails' new cookie encryption method. Old cookies are still valid and are automatically upgraded by Rails.
