Remove feature flag for auto-linking LFS objects in forks

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-remove-lfs-auto-link-feature-flag into master

What does this MR do and why?

The lfs_auto_link_fork_source feature flag was shipped in GitLab 14.6 via !75972 (merged) and enabled by default in GitLab 14.7.

This feature automatically links LFS objects to a fork if the parent already has the same object, eliminating the need for the client to transfer the files again.

Since this has been working well in production for two months, drop the feature flag.

Relates to #348243 (closed)
