Deprecate/remove AMP fit-text setting #4557

Feature description

The amp-fit-text setting does not seem relevant after the years since it has been available. I don't recall it being used once by a user. It seems much more suitable for programmatically adding text to a post. For example, it would make great sense to use for auto-generated web stories. But in this context where users are manually entering text, why wouldn't they just set the font size to the desired height on their own? The amp-fit-text ability just seems overly complicated and unnecessary. It should be removed. It also does not appear to even work properly per #5658.

A paragraph block currently has an “AMP Settings” section among its block settings. It should be eliminated, with the “automatically fit text to container” being moved to the Text settings panel. Users should not need to know about “AMP” when they author content.

Also, the amp-fit-text should be assured to work when the content is viewed on a non-AMP page.
