Enable confidential_epics feature flag by default

What

Remove the :confidential_epics feature flag.

Owners

  • Team: Plan team
  • Most appropriate slack channel to reach out to: #g_plan
  • Best individual to reach out to: rajat(frontend) jprovaznik(backend)

Expectations

### What are we expecting to happen?

New epics can be marked as confidential - confidential epics are not visible to non-member users. Confidential epics can be assigned only with confidential subepics and confidential issues.

What might happen if this goes wrong?

The feature doesn't work as expected? 🤷 There shouldn't be a performance impact, a query which might be slower because of this confidential flag was tested/enabled independently before.

What can we monitor to detect problems with this?

Errors and performance of epics-related page.
