Hide user attributes behind a feature flag

Marcel van Remmerden requested to merge remove-user-attributes into master

What does this MR do and why?

There is unclarity in !95796 (merged) about whether removing all user attributes from both system notes and discussions is a good idea, so we could first test this behind a feature flag. That feature flag will only be enabled for gitlab-org and gitlab-com. If we don't find any new negative feedback that's not already covered in #372234 (closed), we will then merge !95796 (merged), which completely removes these attributes and adapts all tests.
