Remove object storage background_upload and direct_upload configs

What does this MR do?

In gitlab-com/gl-infra&734 (closed), we are trying to remove background upload completely. The announcement was published in 14.9 deprecation note. Feature removal is also scheduled in 15.0. Rails codebase is ignoring both background_upload and direct_upload configurations of Object Storage after gitlab!86905 (merged) is merged. So, it's time to remove those configurations in Omnibus and CNG.

The Rails code base now forces all uploaders to use direct upload by default when possible.
