Fix workspaces frontend auth feature flag

Chad Woolley requested to merge caw-rd-fix-fe-auth-feature-flag into master

Issue: Fix workspaces frontend auth feature flag (#460999 - closed)

What does this MR do and why?

In ca40cadf file ee/app/controllers/remote_development/workspaces_controller.rb, the frontend remote_development_namespace_agent_authorization feature flag check incorrectly used the user as the actor actor instead of the root namespace.

This MR fixes that to use group actor, not user.

Since we don't know the group until the user selects a project, this had to be done as a new API call from the frontend code.
