Remove temporary Full Site Editing fail safes

Description

In #53410, some checks were added in 5.8 to prevent a user from activating a Full Site Editing enabled theme when the Gutenberg plugin was not active. This helped to prevent the front end of their website from breaking.

These checks (added in [51193] and [51197]) were only meant to be temporary. Now that the remaining parts of the block editor required for Full Site Editing are being merged into Core for 5.9, these checks can be removed.

@poena Ah yes, they are duplicates! Thanks, I missed that one. I'll close that one out since there's a patch here.

I tested the patch by activating a full site editing theme. The theme was activated without warnings.
(for those testing, full site editing themes are not yet functional, the site will be blank)

In 52044:

Themes: Remove temporary Full Site Editing safety checks.

These checks were added in [51193] and [51197] as a temporary measure to prevent a site owner from activating a Full Site Editing theme when Gutenberg plugin was not active.

Because Core only had partial support for the features required for FSE, the front end of the site would display a white screen or error message to visitors. Unless the site owner visited the front end, there would be no indication that there was a problem.

Since 5.9 will include the remaining features required for FSE, these checks can be removed.

Props poena, jffng.
Fixes #54366. See #534190.

Even though the other features are not yet committed to Core, I've gone ahead and made this change because it's blocking Twenty Twenty-Two from being merged.
