SM instances do not have user/group toggles for code suggestions

Roger Woo requested to merge master-patch-65b4 into master

A recent re-organization of the code suggestions docs review page is causing confusion for self-managed customers trying to enable code suggestions. This stems from the fact that self-managed instances do not have user nor group level toggles in 16.1.

On SaaS, there is no concept of an instance admin. As a result, users must enable toggles on both group and user levels to access code suggestions.

On SM, the instance admin provides overriding permission as part of configuring the instance level toggles. No additional toggles (neither group nor user) exist on SM in 16.1. However, part of the instance admin's setup steps (as of 16.1) requires enabling both group and user toggles on the instance admin's SaaS account. This is a product debt we've taken on in order to ship quickly. In the future, there will not be any configuration required on SaaS for SM instance admins.
