Audit feature toggles for opportunities to retire

Request from @RachalCassity:
Console Services Team is evaluating site performance, and identified feature toggles in vets-api and vets-website repos.

This should be done on a joint call with PWS, Facilites and Dave Conlon as well as a CMS engineer and a FE engineer from both teams.

On the call, engineers will need to search all three code bases for each flag to determine if they are used anywhere and can be removed.|

Include audit of CMS internal toggles with this same team

Meeting held today 08/30. @swirtSJW @jilladams who is doing the summarizing task steps and taking stab at effort?

[jilladams]

@dsinla a Facilities front-end engineer will need to look through the list of Flippers owned by Facilities team, most likely.
