Experiment Cleanup: Remove the `cross_stage_fdm` experiment

Summary

As per conversation in the rollout issue we have decided to clean up this experiment.

  • Experiment results: Full results can be found here but TLDR:
    • The cross_stage_fdm page had a slight positive impact to trials start but we are unsure of the "cleanliness" of this result due to all free users being targetted
    • The cross_stage_fdm page had a negative impact to Hand Raise PQL behaviour
    • We are unable to fully conclude if the cross_stage_fdm page had a positive impact to paid subscription starts.
  • Experiment key / feature flag name: cross_stage_fdm
  • Epic or issue link: &7281 (closed)

Changes to implement as part of the roll out to becoming an official part of the product:

We want to remove this experiment completely.

Steps

  • Determine whether the feature should apply to SaaS and/or self-managed
    • n/a as we are removing
  • Determine whether the feature should apply to EE - and which tiers - and/or Core
    • n/a as we are removing
  • Determine if tracking should be kept as is, removed, or modified.
    • Removed
  • Ensure any relevant documentation has been updated.
    • No documentation updates needed
  • Consider changes to any feature_category: introduced by the experiment if ownership is changing (PM for Growth and PM for the new category as DRIs)
    • n/a as we are removing
  • Check to see if the experiment introduced new design assets. Add them to the appropriate repos and document them if needed.
    • n/a as we are removing
  • Optional: Migrate experiment to a default enabled feature flag for one milestone and add a changelog. Converting to a feature flag can be skipped at the ICs discretion if risk is deemed low with consideration to both SaaS and (if applicable) self managed
    • n/a as we are removing
  • In the next milestone, remove the feature flag if applicable
  • After the flag removal is deployed, clean up the feature/experiment feature flags by running chatops command in #production channel
  • Ensure the corresponding Experiment Rollout issue is updated
  • [ ]

Note @p_cordero: Everything below was in the original content of this cleanup issue. Keeping for visibility's sake but I'm not sure if this is needed anymore.
