remove dom.IntersectionObserver.enabled #1026

- this was made inactive in v68
- since at least FF79, when active as false, it breaks the web and browser consoles
- it breaks websites
- it breaks extensions: e.g. uBO panel functionality
- it does nothing to mitigate possible fingerprinting (which was why it was initially added as a concern) - i.e the API only provided a standardized method, it does not stop previous/earlier workarounds
