Revert "Merge branch 'sh-make-fips-ee' into 'master'"

Balasankar 'Balu' C requested to merge revert-e53520c1 into master

What does this MR do?

The presence of ee in the job makes Gitlab think that even a CE nightly is an EE one, and have FIPS builds and trigger a RAT pipeline in the CE nightly pipeline, as seen from https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/omnibus-gitlab/-/pipelines/245795. However, we still pass the EE QA image to the trigger, thus causing failures downtime. We might be able to solve the QA issue, but I don't think we currently have a need for CE FIPS builds at all. So, this is essentially a wastage of compute and space, and we can add this back if we find a need.

However, the edge case of someone manually enabling FIPS builds on all branch builds and then not forcing an EE pipeline still exists.
