Add configuration for admins to disable personalization questions for new group

Purpose of this issue?

In !67249 (merged), several personalization questions were added to the New Group page. The description says: "Now, personalize your GitLab experience. We'll use this to help surface the right features and information to you."

This information may be helpful for GitLab on gitlab.com, but less helpful for self-managed instances. In fact, our experience on our instance is that these additional questions confuse the users and complicate the group creation process. That's why it makes sense to give the administrator a way to configure whether these questions should be displayed or not.

Binds the showing/hiding of the personalization questions to the Admin Area > General > Third-party offers setting.**
