MobileFrontend: Remove unused config options
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

This was originally taken out of T407654, which we are breaking down into sub-tasks.

The config option MFRSSFeedLink is provided but never enabled in production. We should drop it.
The config option is always MFEnableManifest and doesn't need to be configurable. We should drop it.

QA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paris&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile page source contains <link rel="manifest"
