Privacy: Remove privacy feature related admin pointers.

In 4.9.6, several new privacy related features were introduced. Admin pointers were included to make administrators aware of these features. They have served their purpose and can now go silently into the night.

Props garrett-eclipse, desrosj, xkon.
Fixes #45999.
