Summary

This issue is to cleanup the geo_project_repository_replication feature flag, after the feature flag has been enabled by default for an appropriate amount of time in production - we would want the FF around for 2 or 3 milestones, since the users of Geo, usually don't upgrade every milestone. Keeping it around longer, will give us a better chance to see it in production.

Once this FF is removed, we can no longer toggle between projects and project_repositories tables for Geo replication and verification.

This FF was introduced in !194051 (closed)

As part of this cleanup, we need the following:

• Remove project_id column from project_repository_registry (closed MR here
• Remove the code that depends on this FF
• Remove the enumeration of projects entirely, for Geo replication and verification
• Update documentation added in Geo: Document the 2 versions of project repo re... (#550191) and Geo: Document the difference in number of proje... (#547895)
