Remove [commissioner] redundant TC acknowledgement flag (project-chip…

…#36966)

* Remove [commissioner] redundant TC acknowledgement flag

The flag controlling whether to require TC acknowledgement is no longer
needed since TC acceptance is now a mandatory pre-condition for
commissioning. This flag was originally added to support delayed TC
acceptance during the commissioning process, but since that flow has
been removed, the flag serves no purpose.

The TC acknowledgement state itself is still required and maintained,
but the additional boolean flag controlling the requirement is redundant
and can be safely removed.
