Remove bwc_tests_enabled flag (#115456) 

In the past, making bwc changes across major version branches required temporarily disabling bwc tests. This was due to timing of adding the change in the old branch, so that bwc tests on the newer branch would pass. In particular there could be discrepancies in transport messages between the two versions. TransportVersion now handles this problem since a new transport version is added along with the bwc change. Unfortunately the gradle flag is used for another purpose now, but developers should no longer manually set it. This commit removes the documentation suggesting the flag be changed for backports.
