WIP: Remove feature gate VolumeGroupSnapshot

[jsafrane]

Summary

Removes the VolumeGroupSnapshot feature gate, which is no longer needed.

• Removed the FeatureGateVolumeGroupSnapshot definition from features/features.go
• Regenerated features.md and the payload feature gate manifests via make update

The feature gate did not gate any API fields (no +openshift:enable:FeatureGate=VolumeGroupSnapshot annotations existed), so no type definitions or CRDs required changes.
