This PR disables Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) functionality. Currently FLoC is enabled through an origin trial and is expected to be implemented next month.

The change in floc_id_provider_factory.cc is the most significant at this point.
The other two changes aren't used extensively yet but will matter more in the future as FLoC is updated. There are already new commits on the main branch that make further use of IsFlocAllowed() and most of the checks on kInterestCohortAPIOriginTrial will likely be updated to check kFederatedLearningOfCohorts.

Resolves #1474

I think this is a really good idea. I noticed FLoC is already in the currently available Chromium version from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/. It's a setting called 'Privacy Sandbox'.
