Stop running all SSI system test VMs on MQ

[sarahchen6]

What Does This Do

Run all SSI GitLab system tests on master only, no longer on the Merge Queue

Motivation

These tests are relatively flaky and difficult to mark as flaky on the dd-trace-java side. They are negatively affecting MQ success rates. The tests were intended to be run nightly, so running only on master should be okay.

More details

Three-line CI config deletion that removes SYSTEM_TESTS_RUN_ALL_VMS: "true" from the MQ workflow rule — the downstream system-tests pipeline (via remote one-pipeline.yml) will now use its default VM set on MQ while master retains the full-VM run; the Gradle test_ssi_smoke jobs continue running on MQ unaffected because they have their own explicit rules and do not consume this variable.
