Remove uneeded find_personal_access_token helper [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]

Giorgenes Gelatti requested to merge remote-unneeded-token-helper into master

What does this MR do?

Removes the #find_personal_access_token method in the package helper that overrides the one in lib/gitlab/auth/auth_finders.rb. This override prevents package apis to support the use of the Private-Token header authentication method by default.

By removing this method it makes package APIS support the header authentication in addition to basic http auth.

As @10io explained below, API::APIGuard::HelperMethods#access_token is overriden for the API and already calls find_personal_access_token_from_http_basic_auth. The change introduced in 89199938 made this proposed code being removed redundant.
