Re-add Product Analytics feature flag and update docs
What does this MR do and why?
Since Product Analytics (PA) is being deprioritised, we're moving PA back into closed beta behind a default-off feature flag.
Adding the feature flag will make it clear to self-managed instances that we don't currently support it. We can manually enable it for specific projects on .com as needed. There are currently no self-managed or dedicated users of PA.
