[Feature flag] Enable Gitlab-org sitemap

What

Remove the :gitlab_org_sitemap feature flag enabling the generation of the sitemap for the Gitlab-org group.

Owners

gitlab_org_sitemap

  • Team: group::editor
  • Most appropriate slack channel to reach out to: #g_create_editor
  • Best individual to reach out to: @fjsanpedro

Expectations

What are we expecting to happen?

When browsing the url https://gitlab.com/sitemap.xml, the sitemap for the Gitlab-org group will appear. This generation won't take more than 1s.

What might happen if this goes wrong?

The sitemap does not appear? The generation takes longer?

What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
