Remove user-visible groups/communities code (#12553)

Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:

* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
