Changes

Site Tracking Removal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove tracking execution and admin integration includes/models/class-sitetracking.php, includes/admin/class-admin.php	The tracking model no longer collects or sends data. Admin registration, instantiation, pointer handling, and uninstall tracking calls are removed or replaced with schedule cleanup.
Clean up tracking state and lifecycle hooks includes/admin/upgrades/migrations/migration-18_8.php, includes/class-wpbdp.php, includes/installer.php, includes/admin/controllers/class-onboarding-wizard.php, includes/admin/settings/class-settings-bootstrap.php	Database migration 18.8 clears tracking cron events and the obsolete pointer option. Deactivation also clears the cron hook. Fresh installs use the drip pointer option, and onboarding no longer resets the tracking pointer option.
