Remove 'ci_jwt_signing_key' secret migrated to ApplicationSetting

Rémy Coutable requested to merge remove-ci_jwt_signing_key into master

What does this MR do and why?

The secret was actually never used:

  1. Introduced in !34249 (diffs) and !92898 (diffs)
  2. The first MR was reverted by !34646 (diffs) but the second was never reverted
  3. The final solution was to add an ApplicationSetting: !43950 (merged)

This removes a documentation line.

The base key for encrypting the CI_JOB_JWT and CI_JOB_JWT_V2 predefined CI/CD variables. CI_JOB_JWT and CI_JOB_JWT_V2 were deprecated in GitLab 15.9 and are scheduled to be removed in GitLab 17.0.

The secret is also removed from omnibus-gitlab at omnibus-gitlab!7930 (merged), and charts/gitlab at gitlab-org/charts/gitlab!3910 (merged).

Related to #451151 (closed).
