Cleaning up the feature flag

• Create a merge request to remove ff_external_audit_events feature flag. Ask for review and merge it.
  • Remove all references to the feature flag from the codebase.
  • Remove the YAML definitions for the feature from the repository.

  • /chatops run feature delete ff_external_audit_events
