internal/goexperiment: delete Flags.GenericMethods field in time for Go 1.27.0 #79750

Description

@dmitshur

The discussions that I recall seeing, as well as the commit messages of CL 772441, CL 779221 and CL 779301, and #77273 (comment) were clear that:

This feature will not launch behind a goexperiment. This is only used
to let in interested users and gate tests during development without
disrupting x/tools.

Again, this flag will not be included in the Go 1.27 release.

[...] when we go to turn down the experiment sometime before the release.

The only thing left to do is removing the respective GOEXPERIMENT which we may do a bit later in the release process (it's useful to quickly eliminate generic methods as the cause for bugs).

However, the release-blocking issue #77273 is closed and there's nothing left to track this small mechanical removal before the final release. Filing this with okay-after-rc1 label so we don't accidentally forget.

CC @golang/release, @cherrymui, @griesemer.
