Christian Schwarz dedf66ba5b remove gc_feedback mechanism (#6863)
It's been dead-code-at-runtime for 9 months, let's remove it.
We can always re-introduce it at a later point.

Came across this while working on #6861, which will touch
`time_for_new_image_layer`. This is an opporunity to make that function
simpler.

def test_gc_feedback(neon_env_builder: NeonEnvBuilder, zenbenchmark: NeonBenchmarker):
"""
Test that GC is able to collect all old layers even if them are forming
"stairs" and there are not three delta layers since last image layer.
Information about image layers needed to collect old layers should
be propagated by GC to compaction task which should take in in account
when make a decision which new image layers needs to be created.
NB: this test demonstrates the problem. The source tree contained the
`gc_feedback` mechanism for about 9 months, but, there were problems
with it and it wasn't enabled at runtime.
This PR removed the code: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6863
