Super regions have been gated behind an experimental feature flag since their introduction in 22.1. Remove the gate so super regions work without requiring `SET enable_super_regions = 'on'`. - Remove `isSuperRegionEnabled()` and all call sites in ALTER DATABASE and CREATE DATABASE paths. - Retire the `sql.defaults.super_regions.enabled` cluster setting. - Deprecate the `enable_super_regions` session variable using `makeBackwardsCompatBoolVar` (hidden, always returns "on"). - Remove the unused `SetEnableSuperRegions` session mutator. - Clean up test files and workload code that set the gate. - Regenerate settings docs. Epic: CRDB-58694 Closes: cockroachdb#162481 Release note (sql change): The `enable_super_regions` session variable and `sql.defaults.super_regions.enabled` cluster setting are no longer required to use super regions. Super region DDL operations (ADD, DROP, ALTER SUPER REGION) now work without enabling any experimental flag. The session variable and cluster setting are deprecated; existing scripts that set them will continue to work without error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
