Backport of 'fix: allow explain for all add ons'
What does this MR do and why?
This change reverts /explain behavior to be allowed back for duo core, pro, enterprise customers to help unblock #587539 (closed). This work was originally part of the work to gate external triggers for new DAP billing strategy (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/581209) but there is an incompatibility with how /explain works. This change re-allows /explain to work as originally functioned.
