Remove always-on language feature flag: WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields #20190

Description

@T-Gro

LanguageFeature.WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields has shipped since F# 8.0 and is enabled for every selectable language version (the minimum accepted --langversion is 8.0). Its feature flag can therefore never be turned off, so it is dead configuration. This issue removes the flag and collapses the guarded code to its enabled behaviour.

What to remove

  • The WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields case in LanguageFeatures.fs and LanguageFeatures.fsi
  • Its entry in the features map and its GetFeatureString arm
  • The featureWarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields string in FSComp.txt
  • Every SupportsFeature LanguageFeature.WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields / checkLanguageFeatureAndRecover … WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields guard — keep only the enabled path and delete the legacy branch
  • Adjust affected tests and baselines accordingly

Consequence: --disableLanguageFeature:WarningWhenCopyAndUpdateRecordChangesAllFields is no longer a recognised feature name.
