Enable by default feature flags and update documentation

Timeline

In %15.10 we have already enabled this feature but it was reverted because it caused issues with performance. Those issues were addressed and now we are ready to enable this feature again. Here is the timeline

  1. Original MR to enable the new license scanning feature.
  2. Multiple E2E failures in main/master due to DB performance issues with new instances
  3. Revert default-enabled license scanning features
  4. Investigation how to improve performance
  5. Implemented Throttle external license DB sync to remove pressure during initial sync, this fixes the performance issue for new instances.
  6. Implemented application setting and an Admin tool to control the sync. Now the sync is Disabled by default in settings, that fixes issues for QA environments.
