Enable Campaigns by default (with write-access only for admins)

Administrator requested to merge campaigns/enable-by-default into main

Created by: mrnugget

This fixes https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/10713 by deprecating all the previous feature flags related to campaigns and replacing them with campaigns.enabled: Boolean.

By default, the value of campaigns.enabled is true so that campaigns are enabled for everybody, including non-site-admins.

But, in order to allow us to safely merge this while we're still working on campaigns, I left in the safety switch that prohibits users from creating changeset specs and campaign specs.

That means:

  • By default site-admins can create/manage/view campaigns
  • By default all users can view campaigns

When campaigns.enabled is set to false:

  • site-admins cannot create/manage/view campaigns
  • users cannot view campaigns

In order to then allow users to create/manage campaigns, all we need to do is to remove the two checks in CreateChangesetSpec/CreateCampaignSpec in campaigns/resolvers/resolver.go. The checks also have tests that can be removed.
