Always enable favorites, remove FRONTEND_ENABLE_FAVORITES flag

[pascalwengerter]

Description

After #2454, favorites still arent' announced unless a feature flag is being set. From my understanding, this can be dropped in favor of just announcing the availabilty/capability of handling favorites?

@rhafer @aduffeck I'm not sure about the bigger picture (as in, e.g., "does this work regardeless of underlying file system"). Please do chime in if there's necessary changes. A corresponding PR for enabling the "new" favorites in web will arrive soon

Also unsure about the changelog situation? I'd have expected an item regarding favorites but can't find anything to append to

[aduffeck]

I'm fine with this change. While there are still storage drivers in our reva which do not implement the new favorites API all of the supported drivers do.

If we need this in the future we can always bring it back, but for now I'd say we keep it simple.

We use the ready-release-go plugin to generate a changelog for us. #2451 has an according entry for the backend change.
