Description

This PR removes the L1 clique configuration option from the op-chain-ops deploy config / tooling.

Our L1 contracts assume Shanghai is active, which assumes merge is active, which has an extra-data limit of 32 bytes, which conflicts with Clique. It's really just legacy code that we can remove.

This supersedes #12557

Tests

Removes dead code
