Remove http clone enabled check for Geo

Hemang Brequested to merge
gitlab-community/gitlab-org/gitlab:allow-geo-sync into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR removes the http clone enabled check for geo, completing part 2 of allowing geo sync requests even when git over http is disabled.

Changes made:

  • Removed http_clone_enabled_check.rb and its test file
  • Removed reference to the check from geo_task.rb
  • Updated documentation to remove the requirement for http clone to be enabled

This allows geo replication to work regardless of the git access protocol settings, improving flexibility for administrators who want to disable http clone while still using geo.
