Code Insights: Remove views area page

Administrator requested to merge code-insights/remove-views-area into main

Created by: vovakulikov

Closes https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/22462

Background

Historically Code Insights pages with insights are built on top of the ViewContent component from the /views product area. ViewContent uses QueryInputInViewContent which uses a lot of infrastructure props from the top level of the app. That means that if we want to render code insights on some page we have to specify all these infrastructure props. That requires a lot of information from top-level components and usually inconvenient from a development point of view, plus that increases the complexity of using code insights as independent components.

Changes

This PR removes /views area and all related components. By this, all consumers of the InsightsViewContent component were supplied and currently don't require a lot of infrastructure props (like pattern type, setting cascade, etc)
