RFR: 8320907: Shenandoah: Remove ShenandoahSelfFixing flag

We added `ShenandoahSelfFixing` flag during LRB work to exercise LRB mid-paths better during stress tests. Today, we do not need the flag. Actually, if we ever call LRB for the side-effect of updating the location (e.g. somewhere in roots), then disabling this flag would introduce more bugs. Therefore, we need to remove the flag and make self-fixing unconditional. 

Additional testing:
 - [x] MacOS AArch64 server fastdebug, `hotspot_gc_shenandoah`
