server/profiler: remove server.cpu_profile.enabled setting

Cpu profiling can be enabled by setting the cluster setting
`server.cpu_profile.cpu_usage_combined_threshold`. This makes
`server.cpu_profile.enabled` redundant and makes it more difficult
and confusing to enable cpu profiling. This commit removes the
`server.cpu_profile.enabled` setting entirely. Note that both
jdefault values for the cluster settings set profiling off.

Closes: #102024

Release note (sql change): The cluster setting
`server.cpu_profile.enabled` has been removed.
`server.cpu_profile.cpu_usage_combined_threshold` can enable and
disable cpu profiling.
