Remove refresh_statistics_on_unlink_fork Feature Flag

Jason Goodman requested to merge remove-refresh-statistics-on-unlink-fork-feature-flag into master

What does this MR do and why?

Remove the refresh_statistics_on_unlink_fork feature flag.

This flag is globally enabled on gitlab.com: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/432177#note_1685032244

Rollout started on December 6th: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/432177#note_1682704523

And finished on December 7th: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/432177#note_1685032244

There have been no issues during or after rollout.

The code behind this flag causes project statistics to be refreshed whenever a fork relationship is removed. Refreshing project statistics in turn triggers a root namespace statistics refresh. Removing this flag will cause this change to rollout to self-managed instances as well.
