Allow self-managed instances to require licensed seats for Duo Chat

Lesley Razzaghian requested to merge self-managed-duo-licensed-seat-require-option-2 into 16-11-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

This MR introduces the ability for self-managed GitLab instances to require licensed seats for Duo Chat using the existing duo_chat_requires_licensed_seat_sm feature flag. Before this MR, it was enabled globally due to Chat GA.

This is considered a bug worthy of patching because some customers will not be able to upgrade to the latest version due to this.

Here is a similar MR for .com. The difference is: with this MR, it is configured only by an instance-wide feature flag, whereas in .com, it can also be turned on or off per group.

Here is the MR on master.
