GrowthExperiments: Do not expose configuration for unavailable features from Community Configuration
Open, MediumPublic
Actions

Description

As of now, CommunityConfiguration expects the set of configuration options is equal at all projects where it is enabled. The only thing that controls which features are displayed in the dashboard, and what configuration options display in the configuration editor, is which extensions are installed on the wiki. For example, if GrowthExperiments is installed, then Special:CommunityConfiguration will display all possible configuration for GrowthExperiments, including options for feature that is not enabled at that project (and including options for features that are not even available at that project).

Within this task, we should hide unavailable features from Special:CommunityConfiguration, since it makes no sense to configure them when not available. See Acceptance Criteria for a list.

Hi @KStoller-WMF, do you see any other group of settings besides the three ones I listed that should be hidden in certain conditions? If so, could you add them into the A/C please? Thanks!

This covers it as far as I know. For clarity I broke up "Add an image" into the two, as they have separate configuration settings:

Add an image to an unillustrated article
Add an image to an article section

Per a discussion with @Michael, I will take over the PoC uploaded by @Michael and finalise them into mergeable code. Thanks for the investigation here!
