[Feature flag] Enable `usage_data_track_ci_templates_unique_projects`

What

Remove the usage_data_track_ci_templates_unique_projects feature flag

Previous issue: #219457 (closed)

Owners

  • Team: ~"group::configure"
  • Most appropriate slack channel to reach out to: #s_configure
  • Best individual to reach out to: @hfyngvason (@Hordur on Slack)

Expectations

What are we expecting to happen?

Redis HLL usage data gets collected for unique project ids of pipelines using the templates listed in #219457 (closed)

What might happen if this goes wrong?

  • A high volume of redis HLL event could overload redis (in this case, we turn off this feature flag)
  • The extra redis calls (only when the templates are included) could impact CI

What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
