jobs: Remove unnecessary and expensive scheduled jobs metrics.

Remove `schedules.round.schedules-ready-to-run` and `schedules.round.num-jobs-running`
metrics from job scheduler.  These metrics are very expensive to compute as they
involve running wider table scans against both `system.jobs` and `system.scheduled_job`.

In addition to being expensive to compute, these metrics are not needed since
the query can be executed directly if needed, and, in addition these metrics are confusing
since these metrics are per node, while the number of running jobs/schedules is cluster wide.
More importantly, they can lead to job scheduler query being more expensive since they increase
the read set of the scheduler transaction, thus causing txn restarts to be more expensive.

Fixes #78447

Release Notes (enterprise): Remove expensive, unnecessary, and never used
`schedules.round.schedules-ready-to-run` and `schedules.round.num-jobs-running` metrics from
job schedulers.

Release Justification: Stability fix for scheduled job system.
