Use backend filtering for @ autocomplete

What does this MR do and why?

Removes the mention_autocomplete_backend_filtering feature flag.

This improves the performance of @ autocomplete for large projects or groups by filtering the results in the backend instead of returning all members.

This has been enabled on GitLab.com for a few months now.
