[Due for payment 2026-07-21] [HR Import] Remove the mergeHRConnections beta

[melvin-bot]

Problem

The mergeHRConnections beta (a.k.a. MERGE_HR) is now enabled for all users — all HR integrations (Gusto, TriNet, BambooHR, Workday, HiBob) are live to everyone. The App code still checks for this beta in several places, which is now dead conditional logic that can be simplified away.

Solution

Remove the mergeHRConnections beta and simplify the HR code accordingly, since the feature is fully rolled out and there are no plans to gate it behind a beta again.

Accompanying PR

Work is already drafted in #95703.

Tests / QA

1. Go to a workspace.
2. Enable HR in More features.
3. Go to the HR page.
4. Verify all HR providers are listed: Gusto, TriNet, BambooHR, Workday, HiBob.
