Remove deprecated License Scanning logic

David Diederich requested to merge remove-gitlab-license-scanning into master

License Scanning via GitLab Ultimate was deprecated in 15.9 and removed in 16.3. Now that we are using GitLab 16.3, the jobs are simply reporting that the feature has been removed and failing.

This MR removes it from the standard pipelines altogether.

The primary license analysis is done by FOSSA jobs. I had long ago enabled this scanning because it was cheap & easy, and it would mark in MRs when new licenses were being added for the first time to the project, which looked cute. The functionality isn't necessary -- FOSSA will report new license types via the NOTICE file, and does a more thorough analysis anyway.
