[Feature flag] Enable namespace name sync with CustomersDot
Summary
This issue is to rollout this feature on production,
that is currently behind the sync_namespace_name_with_cdot
feature flag.
Context for the change
When the name for namespace changes in GitLab.com, no notice of the change is sent to CustomersDot.
As a result, the subscription information on CustomersDot
gets out of sync and displays the outdated name within the customer's subscription page.
We want for the subscriptions in CustomersDot to display accurate information regarding its associated namespaces in Gitlab.com.

The Rollout Plan
- Rollout Feature for everyone as soon as Sidekiq is updated and the introduced job is available. More context
Expectations
What are we expecting to happen?
When the flag is enabled, every time a EE::Namespace
object's name is updated, we will enqueue a ::Namespaces::SyncNamespaceNameWorker
that will take care of sending the updated name to CustomersDot so it is properly updated on that end.
What might happen if this goes wrong?
The name will not be updated, we will be in the same situation we are today.
