Remove custom Danger check for frozen_string_literal comments

What does this MR do?

This is redundant with Rubocop's Style/FrozenStringLiteralComment cop, which we didn't have enabled when this was introduced.

To preserve the same behaviour we also:

  • Switch to EnforcedStyle: always_true, to forbid false values.
  • Replace the wildcard list with an explicit list of all violations, so we still catch all newly added files.

The violations will be fixed in follow-up MRs: #299105 (closed)

Verified that CI was still failing with a temporary commit: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/970390238

For reference, the Danger check was introduced in gitlab-foss!20767 (merged), the cop was enabled in gitlab-foss!21999 (merged), and default-enabled in gitlab-styles in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-styles/-/merge_requests/37.

This change was prompted by !51486 (merged)
