Remove feature flag user_search_simple_query_string

Madelein van Niekerk requested to merge 391955-remove-feature-flag into master

What does this MR do and why?

Remove a feature flag that has been enabled and tested globally.

The feature flag toggles whether or not a user is able to use advanced search syntax when searching for users.

For example: dgruzd|maddievn|terrichu.

The change has been verified by UX.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Ensure Elasticsearch is running.
  2. Do a user search without special operations and verify that the correct results are returned. E.g. /search?scope=users&search=ivan.
  3. Do a user search with advanced search syntax and verify that the correct results are returned using the syntax. E.g. /search?scope=users&search=iva*.
