Check feature flag in Deletion protection admin setting

Peter Hegman requested to merge 389557-turn-delayed-project-deletion-into-default-behaviour-and-remove-option-to-delete-immediately-frontend into master

What does this MR do and why?

Related to #389557 (closed)

We are changing the functionality of the Deletion protection setting so group and projects are always deleted after a delay. The backend logic and feature flag was added in !113332 (merged). This MR uses that feature flag to update the UI.

In the admin area you can now only set the retention period to a value between 1 and 90 In the group settings there is no longer a setting to adjust how project deletion works

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable the `` feature flag
  2. Go to /admin/application_settings/general and expand the Visibility and access controls section. There should be only an input for retention period.
  3. Go to a group -> Settings -> General -> Permissions and group features. The Deletion protection setting shouldn't be rendered.
