Cloud License: Activation to receive license instead of authentication token
What does this MR do?
Previously !51450 (merged) established an activation mechanism involves persisting an authentication token. This will be changed because we want to align cloud license with seat link, dropping authentication token, and use license directly.
The cloud license proposal step 2 outlines activation process (GitLab instance's side)
This is mirroring the changes in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/2864
