Describe the issue

Currently the aws_ecs_patterns module docs reference the REMOVE_DEFAULT_DESIRED_COUNT flag in a few places:

The overall readme, on the feature flag:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs_patterns-readme.html#use-the-remove_default_desired_count-feature-flag

Similarly, individual patterns' docs reference the flag when discussing the desiredCount property, eg:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs_patterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService.html#desiredcount

Type: number (optional, default: If the feature flag, ECS_REMOVE_DEFAULT_DESIRED_COUNT is false, the default is 1; if true, the default is 1 for all new services and uses the existing services desired count when updating an existing service.)

However, when building a package using it, I see this error:

 Error: Unsupported feature flag '@aws-cdk/aws-ecs-patterns:removeDefaultDesiredCount'. This flag existed on CDKv1 but has been removed in CDKv2. CDK will now behave as the same as when the flag is enabled.

You can see it on the unsupported list for v2 here.

These references in the docs should be removed, in favor of describing the (now unconditional) behavior with the feature enabled.

Thank you for the heads-up and report. I guess we should remove that from the doc. Are you interested to submit a PR for that?

docs(ecs-patterns): remove references to REMOVE_DEFAULT_DESIRED_COUNT (…
704f596 
…#29344)

### Issue # (if applicable)

Closes # 29325

### Reason for this change

The `REMOVE_DEFAULT_DESIRED_COUNT` feature flag is always enabled in CDKv2, and throws builds errors if explicitly set. The `ecs-patterns`  docs still reference it as "opt-in", which is misleading.

 Ref: [list of deprecated feature flags for v2](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/3cbad4a2164a41f5529e04aba4d15085c71b7849/packages/aws-cdk-lib/cx-api/FEATURE_FLAGS.md?plain=1#L145)

See [Issue 29325](#29325) for a sample build error when trying to follow the current example code in docs for enabling the flag.

I did NOT remove the actual conditionals in the construct code, that check the (now always true) feature flag. This is dead code that can probably be removed as a chore task. My focus here was on removing friction for developers reading documentation.

### Description of changes

I removed the section in the README of `ecs-patterns` showing how to manually enable this flag. I also updated the default cases in docstrings that referenced the flag.

### Description of how you validated changes

Doc change only, no functional changes. I did double check that the defaults described in the docstrings (when the feature flag is enabled) were still accurate.
