## Summary

Temporarily remove file based changes that add FTR and Jest benchmark
steps to avoid blocking builds. They can still be triggered with labels.
Proper solution will be added in elastic#252198.

This reverts commit e90547a.

## Summary

The `FTR Bench` step can block the build from finishing, so we want to
get the run time down and start sooner. It currently takes ~90 minutes
to finish. After these changes, it is ~45 minutes.

- Reverts #252437
- Upgrade machine to `c2d -> c4d` and use hyperdisk. This reduces
runtime by ~6 minutes.
- Removes `fleet` config from being benchmarked. This reduces runtime by
~17 minutes.
- Removes one iteration of testing in FTR Bench. This reduces runtime by
~25 minutes.
- Due to #252200, the benchmarking steps now start with the pre checks.
This will start them ~25 minutes sooner.
- `FTR Bench` builds it's own distributables, and thus has no other step
dependencies. If these builds fail, the bench doesn't run.
  - `Jest Bench` has no dependencies.
- Upgrade `Jest Bench` machine from `n2-highmem-16` to `c4d-standard-16`
and adds hyperdisk.
  - Reduces runtime from 51 min to 26 min.
