Describe the issue you're reporting

The telemetry.disableHighCardinalityMetrics feature gate is currently in alpha, meaning it is disabled by default, i.e. high cardinality metrics are enabled by default (double negative).

In #12433, metric views were made configurable. It is not permitted to simultaneously configure views and enable the feature gate -- the service will exit with the error "telemetry.disableHighCardinalityMetrics gate is incompatible with service::telemetry::metrics::views".

The feature gate is commented to say "The gate will be removed when the collector allows for view configuration. "

Given that the collector now allows for view configuration, we should remove the gate. Before we do that, we should deprecate the flag to give users a bit of warning.
