Revert "Merge branch 'andywh/perf_testing_in_mr' into 'master'"

Purpose of revert

Friday 2025-08-01 07:34 UTC - `gitlab-org/gitla... (gitlab-org/quality/engineering-productivity/master-broken-incidents#15061)

Unable to create pipeline
'e2e:perf-on-cng' job needs 'e2e-test-pipeline-generate' job, but 'e2e-test-pipeline-generate' does not exist in the pipeline. This might be because of the only, except, or rules keywords. To need a job that sometimes does not exist in the pipeline, use needs:optional.

The pipeline in question was added in Enabling Performance tests on MRs with CPT (!197705 - merged)
